Why should you seek help at the earliest?
It is very important that your child's communication difficulties are identified and treated at the earliest. Younger the age, better the positive outcomes from the treatment. This is because the human brain is developing at a much faster rate during the first 3 years of life and slows down after 6 years of age. During these initial years of life, the brain has the maximum capacity to adapt and grow. Hence, any intervention provided during these initial years will give maximum benefits.
It is common for toddlers and young children to have SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DELAY, also associated with conditions such as AUTISM, ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER, CHILDHOOD APRAXIA OF SPEECH, DOWN'S SYNDROME, CEREBRAL PALSY, HEARING LOSS, CLEFT LIP AND PALATE etc. Reading and writing disorders associated with LEARNING DISABILITY, childhood STUTTERING, UNCLEAR SPEECH, ORO MOTOR AND FEEDING ISSUES are also common.
As a Speech Language Pathologist I will provide a complete assessment to know if your child has any of the conditions listed above, identify the reasons for the issues present and provide you with a treatment plan to improve your child's speech, language and feeding skills. I will also answer all your concerns regarding your child's speech, language and feeding issues and give you strategies that has worked tremendously well for the kids I have given speech therapy in various established speech therapy centres.
Speech Therapy for Adults
Speech and language problems in adults may have started in childhood (stuttering / pronunciation issues) or developed after an illness or injury (stroke, parkinson's disease, dementia, oral/laryngeal cancer, traumatic brain injury, voice disorders etc ). Speech and language therapy focuses on improving the speech clarity, impaired language, fluency, voice and communication skills in such conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is evaluation done? Is it through video calls?
I will get in touch with you initially over phone/emails. This will help me in preparing for the evaluation session. Following this, a video session for assessment will be scheduled mostly on Zoom.
What is the duration of each session?
An assessment session will be for one hour and each therapy session will be for 45 minutes.
Does online speech therapy work for children?
Researches show that online speech therapy (aka telepractice) can provide the same results as offline sessions. Telepractice is an effective, evidenced based program that works well for both kids and adults. Online sessions are highly interactive and children usually look forward to attending these sessions. Parents also play a major role by actively involving in the sessions and learning to generalise activities at home. In some cases where children are too young to sit or if the presenting conditions are severe, sessions would focus on training the parents to effectively carry out the activities at home.
How well online therapy works for adults?
Online speech therapy works well for adults with stuttering/stammering, pronunciation difficulties, voice issues, communication difficulties due to stroke, parkinsons disease, dementia etc. Great success has been seen for adolescents and adults who choose online speech therapy services. Additionally, online speech therapy saves time and cost of travel. You can also attend sessions from the convenience of your home.
What our clients say about us!
I was very disturbed when my child was not able to speak even at the age of three along with difficulties such as poor eating skills and sensory issues. Ms.Ann gave us an insight into oral placement therapy which helped us in understanding the root cause of my child's issues. Now my child is showing progress in her communication skills.
I had been struggling with stuttering since my childhood. I had low confidence and self esteem due to which I had poor social life. I wanted a cure from this difficulty and that’s when I sought help from Ms.Ann, a very dedicated and passionate speech therapist. She introduced techniques and strategies that helped me to overcome stuttering. I am able to maintain my fluent speech and speak well with others these days.

I had speech clarity issues from my childhood. I recently enrolled for speech therapy and I am glad I did. My articulation has improved a lot since then and now I can speak clearly. I must wholeheartedly thank Ms. Ann for all the help she has provided for improving my speech clarity.
