Octave Speech Centre
Dr. Preeja Balan has spent over two decades listening to how children try to communicate. At Octave, the approach is to find each child's preferred channel and build from there — not to impose speech as the only goal. Over 500 children served. If communication is your primary concern, this centre's track record is worth looking into.
Founded in 2011 by Dr. Preeja Balan, a speech-language pathologist with over 24 years of experience. Specialises in early intervention for autism, speech-language pathology, and communication disorders. Located in Koramangala. Currently serves 12 children with autism.
