A Successful Case Study of a Two-Year-Old Child

Welcome to a journey of growth and resilience as we explore Rudra’s transformative path at Jeevaniyam. At the tender age of 2, Rudra, an ASD child, embarked on a unique adventure towards enhanced speech development. In this evidence-based blog, we unravel the milestones and victories that illuminate Rudra’s progress as a bilingual child, showcasing the invaluable impact of Jeevaniyam’s interventions.  

In the intricate tapestry of modern times, where unique challenges surface, integrated therapies stand as pillars of hope. Meet Rudra, a vibrant 4-year-old boy who embarked on a remarkable journey at Jeevaniyam Ayurveda Hospital for speech therapy. This case study delves into his experience, focusing on language development and the impact of exposure to one or two languages during therapy.

Rudra, a Rajasthani with Hindi as his mother tongue (L1), also had exposure to English (L2). Visiting the hospital at 2 years and 4 months, he presented with concerns such as speech delay, limited social interaction, and repetitive behaviors. The challenge was to address these issues while navigating his bilingual language background. However, in the realm of integrated therapy, Rudra discovered the power to overcome these hurdles and embrace a life filled with communication, connection, and joy.

Pre-Therapy Assessment:

Before therapy, Rudra displayed no speech output, with certain promotor skills underdeveloped. Various assessments indicated a high risk for autism spectrum disorder, urging a closer look at his language development.

Therapy Approach:

Over four months, Rudra underwent language therapy. The first two months involved exposure to both Hindi and English, followed by two months with 

an exclusive focus on Hindi. Aligning with his mother tongue provided a foundation for effective communication.

Rudra’s Progress at Jeevaniyam!

In just four months, Rudra’s language development journey at Jeevaniyam showcased remarkable strides. Initially exposed to both Hindi and English, Rudra swiftly mastered single-word utterances, 1-step commands, and expressive language skills within two months. The subsequent one-month focus on Hindi alone saw him effortlessly handling 2-3-word utterances, complex commands, and expressing needs in sentences. Rudra’s intraverbal skills, including singing rhymes and addressing family members, achieved 100% proficiency within a month. This swift and comprehensive progress underscores the success of Jeevaniyam’s integrated therapy in unlocking Rudra’s communication potential.

As Rudra embarked on his therapeutic journey, the results spoke volumes. At Jeevaniyam, where Ayurveda seamlessly intertwines with modern therapeutic approaches, Rudra’s journey is one among many. The integrated therapy methods employed here are creating a paradigm shift, offering a holistic and individualized approach that extends beyond the surface-level symptoms. With Rudra as an inspiring example, Jeevaniyam continues to illuminate the path toward brighter, more fulfilling lives for those navigating the challenges of developmental disorders.
