“I Called His Name.
No Response.
I Called Louder.
Nothing.
But The Moment I Tapped His Shoulder —
He Turned. Calmly. As If He’d Been Listening All Along.”
Parth, 4.5 years old, passed his hearing test.
Every time.
But at home?
- No response to “Parth, come eat.”
- No reaction to “Look here!”
- Ignored greetings — until someone tapped him.
“We thought he was ignoring us.
Then being naughty.
Then lost in thought.
But the truth was — he wasn’t processing our voices.”
🧠 Hearing Is Not The Same As Processing
At Pinnacle® Ahmedabad, sensory and language experts explain:
“Children with autism or sensory processing disorders may hear sound perfectly —
but their brains struggle to filter, register, or respond to that sound meaningfully.
It’s called auditory processing delay — and it causes confusion, mislabeling, and missed early diagnosis.”
Real red flags:
- Doesn't respond to name call unless physically prompted
- Follows visual gestures but not verbal ones
- Overreacts to loud noises but ignores soft voices
- May respond to songs, ads, or music — but not to speech
- Misunderstood as “too stubborn” or “too zoned out”
From our experts:
“Their ears work.
But their brain is saying, ‘I don’t know what that means yet.’”
📞 The Moment They Touched — And Everything Changed
At school, his teacher said:
“Parth. Time for circle.”
He didn’t move.
She walked over, gently placed a hand on his arm — and he stood up immediately.
Later that day, she asked his parents:
“Do you notice he only reacts when touched?”
“That’s when we realized — we weren’t being ignored.
We were expecting something his brain couldn’t give.”
They called 9100 181 181 that night.
The counselor said:
“You're not being tuned out.
You're being misrouted.
Let’s screen his processing — and build him a bridge back to you.”
They booked a free AbilityScore©® Auditory Screening.

🤖 How TherapeuticAI©® Helped Him Respond With Meaning — Not Just Movement
His therapy didn’t shout louder.
It slowed the world down — so his brain could catch up.
His plan included:
- “Name → Tap → Response” routine → gradually remove the tap
- Visual + verbal pairing (gesture while speaking)
- Sound games: locate the sound, name the sound, act on the sound
- Quiet environment speech drills: minimize background noise
- Parent scripts: “Say his name → count to 3 → reframe visually if no response”
By week 5:
- Parth turned when his name was called — no tap
- Smiled when greeted — and whispered “Hi” back
- Answered “Yes?” after hearing his name — with real attention
- Hugged his mother after she softly said, “Parth, I’m proud of you”
“He wasn’t ignoring the world.
He was drowning in it — and waiting for us to speak his language.”
💬 What His parents Now Say
“We were raising our voice.
Now, we raise our understanding.
Thanks to Pinnacle®, we stopped blaming his silence —
and started listening to it.”
