Kotha Therapy CENTER
Kotha is the therapy section of the Civil School Bangladesh. It provides children with Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) and Occupational Therapy (OT). The goal of Kotha is to ensure scientific, structured, and results-oriented therapy intervention strategies and practices for children’s smooth transition to formal schooling. It performs clinical assessments to identify children’s present situation related to communication and occupation. If your child struggles to comprehend what others are saying, to communicate with others, or to participate in daily and academic activities, you can come visit us. Therapists at Kotha provide life-changing therapy, support, and care for children who have difficulties with communication and daily activities by developing and implementing appropriate plans for children’s speech and language development and participating in everyday activities.
