Qualifications and registration
To practise legally in India, a speech-language pathologist must hold a recognised qualification, either a four-year BASLP or a Master's (MASLP), and be registered with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). Ask for the registration number before the first session and check that the qualification matches what the therapist says.
The first assessment
A baseline speech and language assessment in Bangalore typically costs ₹1,500 to ₹4,000 as a one-time fee, and the cost depends on the clinic. Ask whether the assessment is included in a monthly package or charged separately. The severity of the problem decides how many sessions are needed, so the therapist usually sets the plan after the assessment.
Online sessions and public hospitals
Online sessions for adults usually cost ₹800 to ₹2,500 each, with monthly packages from about ₹4,000 to ₹14,000. Public hospitals are much cheaper per session, so ask in your city whether they offer speech therapy before you choose a private clinic. Travel matters in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai, so give your area when you write the request.
What to put in your request
Name the speech issue, the age of the person and any diagnosis you have. Say whether you want in-person, online or mixed sessions, how many sessions a week you want, and whether you prefer one-to-one or group therapy. Add your city and area and your monthly budget in rupees, and say whether you are asking about a session price or a package.
