When should you consult a speech therapist?
There is no single age. There are signs. These are the ones that, in practice, make an assessment worthwhile.
- The child does not use words appropriate to their age.
- They have difficulty understanding simple instructions.
- They speak, but others find them hard to understand.
- They have difficulty with sounds such as R, RR, L, K, G.
- They repeat sounds or words, or speech blocks.
- They have lost words or skills they previously had.
- They have difficulty communicating with other children.
- They have difficulty with reading or writing.
If you are not sure, book an initial assessment.

How the work begins
From first contact to the treatment plan, the steps are the same for everyone who comes to ORATIO.
First Consultation
The initial meeting: to hear your concerns, gather the necessary background, and establish the first steps towards an appropriate assessment and treatment.
Speech and Language Assessment
A structured assessment identifying difficulties and abilities in speech, language and communication.
Identifying the difficulty
Identifying and defining the speech, language and communication difficulties or disorders through a structured and detailed assessment.
Treatment plan
On the basis of the assessment, a personalised treatment plan is built, with clear objectives and sessions adapted to the person's needs.
The first consultation is, above all, a conversation: time to hear your concern and to establish the next steps.

Every person has their own rhythm. The treatment plan is built around that rhythm.
The initial assessment establishes the starting point. From there a personalised therapeutic programme is built, adjusted along the way according to the progress and needs of the person, child or adult.
Treatment draws on methods grounded in professional practice, including the ABA method and Professor Kaçka's holistic method (HMK) in the treatment of stuttering.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often before a first consultation.
- In which language are sessions held?
Sessions are held in English or in Albanian, whichever suits the child or adult being treated. Tell us which you would prefer when you get in touch, and the assessment and treatment plan follow in that language.
- When should I consult a speech therapist?
When a child speaks less than expected for their age, when their pronunciation is not understood by others, when they stutter, when they do not respond to spoken language, or when difficulties appear in reading, writing and arithmetic. In adults, the most common reasons are stuttering and speech difficulties following a neurological injury. When you are not sure, an initial assessment is where everything starts.
- Where is ORATIO Speech Clinic located?
The clinic is at 16 Elena Gjika, Ferizaj 70000, Kosovo. Opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 10:00 – 20:00. For directions or to arrange an appointment, call +383 48 333 465.
View on Google Maps- What happens at the first consultation?
The first consultation is, above all, a conversation: we listen to your concern, gather the necessary background on development and history, and establish the first steps towards a speech and language assessment.
- From what age are services offered?
The clinic works with both children and adults. For speech and language development difficulties, early intervention is the professionally recommended practice, so an assessment is never premature.
- What is treated at ORATIO?
Stuttering, speech and language delay, articulation disorders (dyslalia), hypernasal speech (rhinolalia), aphasia and dysphasia, selective mutism, speech and language in autism, absence of speech (alalia), rehabilitation after a cochlear implant, learning difficulties (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), and speech and language in Down syndrome.
- Is the clinic licensed?
Yes. ORATIO Speech Clinic is licensed by the Ministry of Health to practise speech and language therapy. Festë Beqa is licensed for therapeutic services in the field of language and speech, certified in the ABA method, and licensed in Professor Kaçka's holistic method (HMK) for the treatment of stuttering.
- How long does treatment last?
The duration follows from the assessment: the nature of the difficulty, the person's age and their own rhythm determine the plan. For that reason, objectives and session frequency are set after the assessment, not before it.
Advice for parents
Longer answers to the questions we hear most often at the clinic.
My child is 2 and does not speak. When should we worry?
The question we are asked most often. What is expected at two, what counts as normal variation, and when an assessment should not wait.
When should a child see a speech therapist?
A practical list of signs, grouped by area - speech, understanding, social communication, reading and writing.
Speech delay, or just a later developer?
Where the line falls between a child who simply speaks later and a difficulty that needs intervention.
