Speech Delay IEP Support That Builds Communication, Learning & Confidence
Speech delay can affect a child’s ability to express thoughts, interact socially, maintain attention, and succeed academically. At Jiguar Foundation, we facilitate structured speech delay and speech–language support through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) by collaborating with qualified speech-language therapists and therapy centers.
Rather than directly delivering therapy, Jiguar Foundation works as an IEP consultancy and coordination partner, ensuring children receive appropriate speech and language interventions in schools, therapy centers, or other environments preferred by parents.
Our approach focuses on helping children communicate effectively, confidently, and functionally in classrooms and social settings. We also recognize that many children with speech delay may have co-occurring ADHD or Learning Difficulties, which can impact attention, comprehension, reading, writing, and math-related learning skills. Our school-based IEP model addresses these interconnected challenges through coordinated, child-centered support.
Understanding Speech Delay in Children
Speech delay occurs when a child does not develop speech and language skills within expected age ranges. In school-going children, speech delay often impacts both communication abilities and academic performance.
Common signs of speech and language delay include:
- Limited vocabulary for age
- Difficulty forming sentences or expressing ideas clearly
- Poor pronunciation and unclear speech
- Trouble understanding instructions or questions
- Difficulty following classroom discussions
- Frustration or withdrawal during communication
Some children with speech delay may also experience:
- Attention difficulties and poor listening skills
- Challenges with reading comprehension and written expression
- Difficulty understanding math-related language, word problems, and instructions
Early identification and coordinated intervention through IEPs play a critical role in improving communication, learning readiness, and academic confidence.
