“What If I Had Acted Earlier?” – A Mother’s Story of Speech Delay and Second Chances
🗞️ By indiaherald Staff Writer
📍 Report from rajahmundry | In Association with Pinnacleblooms.org
😔 “I Thought He Was Just a Quiet Child…”
Sridevi, a mother of two in rajahmundry, remembers her son’s 2nd birthday clearly. Not for the cake. Not for the guests.
But for what wasn’t there — not a single word spoken by her child.
“Everyone told me not to worry. That boys speak late. That he’ll talk when he wants to.”
“I waited. And I regretted it.”
By the time she found Pinnacle®, her son was 3.5 — non-verbal, frustrated, isolated.
This is her story — and a story thousands of parents silently share.
🗣️ Speech Delay Is Not a Phase. It’s a Call to Act.
According to experts, a child should:
- Say at least 10 words by 18 months
- Combine 2 words meaningfully by 24 months
- Follow basic instructions like “come here” or “give me”
- Make eye contact and respond to their name
If not, it’s not just “late talking” — it may be developmental delay, sometimes linked to autism spectrum disorder or other neurological conditions.

Pinnacle’s team offered AbilityScore©®, a one-of-a-kind, world-first tool that:
- Gives a numeric score for Speech, Social, Motor, Learning, and Behavior
- Maps the child’s status into Red (urgent), Yellow (developing), or Green (age-appropriate)
- Generates a real-time, personalized therapy plan using TherapeuticAI©®
“When I saw the score, I didn’t cry. I acted. I finally knew what I had to do.”

- Autism can present as speech delay, lack of social engagement, or repetitive behavior
- The earlier you act, the greater the child’s chance of mainstream inclusion and self-sufficiency
