Speech and Language Therapy, Vasant Kunj, Delhi (2026)

MS Speech-Language Therapist | 25 years' experience|.Equip parents to create 100+ meaningful communication opportunities every day—turning everyday routines into speech and language practice. I am a Speech and Language Therapist with over 25 years of aexperience** supporting children with speech, language, communication, and feeding difficulties. My passion is helping children become confident communicators while empowering parents with practical strategies they can use every day. I currently work in an inclusive mainstream school, where I assess children, develop Individualised Education Plans (IEPs), provide individual, paired, and group therapy, and collaborate closely with parents, teachers, and multidisciplinary teams. My clinical interests include Autism, Gestalt Language Processing (GLP), Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), AAC, Oral Placement Therapy (OPT), language development, and neurodiversity-affirming practice. I believe that every child communicates differently, and therapy should be meaningful, play-based, and tailored to each child's strengths. Alongside therapy, I guide parents with practical home programs and strategies to help them support their child's communication beyond the therapy room. I regularly conduct assessments, write therapy reports, participate in multidisciplinary meetings, and provide training and guidance to parents and educators. I am committed to lifelong learning and continually update my knowledge through advanced training and research so I can provide the highest quality, evidence-based care for the children and families I work with. My goal is simple: to help children communicate with confidence and empower parents to become their child's best communication partner.

Your child isn't behind. They just need the right activities at the right time. 💛

I put together the 30 Day Talker Toolkit, 75 pages of simple, play-based speech activities you can start today, no special toys, no pressure, no "just say it."

📖 75 pages of step-by-step activities:

🗣️ Built from 25 years of real experience as a speech-language pathologist

🎯 One simple activity a day, designed to build first words naturally

🚼 Perfect for late talkers, toddlers who understand more than they say, and parents who want a clear plan instead of guesswork
Here's something most parents don't know: babbling isn't random noise. It's motor planning, your child's tongue and mouth muscles rehearsing hundreds of tiny movements before a real word ever comes out. That's why play, not pressure, is what moves a late talker forward.

👉 Comment "TALK" and I'll send you the link to the toolkit.

Based on my 25 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist. Every child can speak through the right interaction.

Echolalia and Gestalt Language Processor
Your child sings whole rhymes, quotes cartoons, and repeats what you say… but doesn't talk to you? 💬
This may not be "just repetition." Your child may be a gestalt language processor (GLP).

GLPs learn language in chunks (songs, scripts, phrases) first. Later they break those chunks into smaller parts and build their own flexible sentences.

✅ Acknowledge what your child says
✅ Join their communication
✅ Model meaningful language
✅ Follow their interests

Want clear steps to support your child's language at home? 👇

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) symptoms parents often miss 🤔
If your toddler or child isn't improving in speech therapy, you've probably heard:
👉 "He's just stubborn."
👉 "He's not interested in talking."
👉 "He says a word once and then forgets it."
👉 "He was talking normally, and then suddenly stopped."
👉 "His speech sounds different every time he tries."
These are common signs of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) — a motor speech disorder, not a behaviour problem.
In CAS, your child's brain knows exactly what he wants to say, but struggles to plan and sequence the mouth movements needed to say it consistently. That's why the same word comes out differently each time, why longer words and sentences are harder, and why speech therapy progress can feel so slow.
CAS is diagnosed by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) — not a checklist alone — but recognizing the signs early makes a real difference in outcomes.

Is your toddler struggling to drink from a straw?

🥤 Straw sipping isn't just a milestone — it builds the same oral-motor strength kids need for clear speech!

Here's the exact 5-step method I use with my own late-talkers and apraxia kiddos to teach independent straw sipping:

1️⃣ Squeeze the bottom of the sipper
2️⃣ Let your child suck while you squeeze
3️⃣ They feel the liquid come up — success!
4️⃣ Gradually squeeze less
5️⃣ Let them suck independently 🎉

This "squeeze-fade" trick takes the guesswork out of teaching straw drinking, and most kids pick it up within days of consistent practice.

🍌 "I Like To Eat" Song = A Bilabial Speech Goldmine! 🍎
One of my all-time favorite beginner speech activities — and it works like magic. Here's why:
The classic song "I Like to Eat, Eat, Eat Apples and Bananas" is perfect for kids working on their first sounds, especially /b/ — a bilabial sound (made with both lips together — one of the earliest and easiest sounds for little mouths to make!).
🎵 How to do it at home:
1️⃣ Sing: "I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas" 🍎
2️⃣ Say "ba-ba" and pause — wait for your child to imitate: "bu" or "ba"
3️⃣ Say "na-na" and pause — wait for them to repeat: "na"
4️⃣ Put it together — with practice, you'll hear "banana"! 🍌
🗣️ Sounds & words your child may start using:
"bu" → "ba-ba" → "na-na" → "banana" 🎉
(Also great for practicing "I like," "eat," "apple")
✨ Why it works:
✔️ Rhyme + repetition = easier motor planning
✔️ Use the pause-and-wait strategy to invite imitation
✔️ Keep it playful, never pressured — let the child lead
✔️ Just a few minutes a day, consistently, makes the difference
Perfect for late talkers, toddlers with speech delay, autism, apraxia of speech, and any beginner just starting their speech journey. 💛
Try it this week and tell me — did your little one say "banana"? 👇

Every child has 167 hours outside therapy each week. ❤️

But if you’re a parent running from one therapy session to another, those hours can feel overwhelming.

You may be thinking:

“I know my child needs communication practice… but what exactly should I do at home?”

You don’t need to turn your home into a therapy clinic.

You need to know WHAT to do, WHY you’re doing it, and HOW to build communication into everyday routines.

That’s why I created 100 practical activities and ideas you can start using during play, meals, bathing, dressing, cooking, books and everyday moments.

Because communication doesn’t stop when the therapy session ends.

Don’t waste the 167 hours.

Use them intentionally, with the right guidance. 🌱

💬 Want my 100 practical communication activities?

Comment “100” below and I’ll send them to you.
