Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Speech-Language-Swallow Therapist do?

A Speech-Language-Swallow Therapist assesses and treats difficulties with communication — speech clarity, spoken and understood language, voice, and social communication — as well as swallowing and feeding difficulties (dysphagia). Kalyani works across all three areas, helping children build their first words and conversation skills, and helping adults and older adults regain or maintain safe swallowing and clear communication.

Which age groups does Kalyani work with?

Kalyani works across the lifespan — young children under 7, children aged 7 to 12, adults, and older adults. For children, this often means support with language delay, autism-related communication, and ADHD; for adults and seniors, it includes cognitive-communication and swallowing needs linked to conditions such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and dementia.

Can speech therapy help with swallowing problems?

Yes. Swallowing therapy (dysphagia management) is a core part of speech-language pathology. Kalyani assesses how safely and comfortably a person is eating and drinking, then builds a plan that may include swallowing exercises, texture modifications, and safe-swallow strategies — always with the goal of preserving nutrition, safety, and the dignity of eating with family.

How are families involved in the therapy process?

Families are central to Kalyani's approach. She shares practical strategies for home, keeps caregivers informed at every step, and coordinates with the wider multidisciplinary team so that progress carries over into everyday routines. She consults in English, Hindi, and Marathi, with basic working proficiency in Kannada.
