Experience & Specialisation

With 2 years of clinical experience, Rashmi brings focused expertise in pediatric speech-language pathology to Cadabam's CDC. She conducts speech and language assessments, designs individualized therapy plans, and delivers targeted intervention for children with a range of communication difficulties — from articulation errors and language delays to social communication challenges.

Working within Cadabam's CDC's multidisciplinary team, Rashmi coordinates with occupational therapists, psychologists, and special educators to ensure that communication goals are reinforced across all therapy activities. This integrated approach is particularly important for children with autism or ADHD, where communication challenges interact with sensory, behavioral, and learning needs.

Therapeutic Approach

Rashmi uses play-based, child-centred therapy methods that make sessions engaging and motivating for young children. She works closely with parents, providing specific home practice activities and communication strategies that extend therapy progress into everyday routines — mealtimes, play, bath time, and daily interactions. Parent involvement is central to her approach because the hours of practice families provide at home are what accelerate progress between sessions.

Conditions Treated

Rashmi works with children experiencing speech sound disorders, expressive and receptive language delays, fluency disorders, and communication challenges associated with neurodevelopmental conditions including autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a speech and language assessment involve?

A speech and language assessment includes standardized testing, observation of your child's communication during play and interaction, and a detailed parent interview covering developmental history and current communication patterns. Rashmi uses this information to identify specific areas of need — whether in articulation, receptive or expressive language, fluency, or social communication — and to design a targeted therapy plan.

How does speech therapy work when my child also has autism or ADHD?

Communication challenges in children with autism or ADHD often overlap with sensory, behavioral, and attention difficulties, requiring a coordinated approach. At Cadabam's CDC, Rashmi works within the multidisciplinary team — coordinating with occupational therapists, psychologists, and special educators — to ensure speech and language goals are reinforced across all therapy activities rather than treated in isolation.

What role do parents play in speech therapy progress?

Parents are the most important factor in accelerating speech therapy outcomes because they spend far more time with the child than any therapist can during weekly sessions. Rashmi provides specific home practice activities tied to daily routines — such as communication games during mealtimes, targeted reading exercises, and vocabulary-building during play and bath time — so that therapy progress extends into every part of the child's day.

What should I expect during my child's speech therapy sessions?

Sessions are play-based and typically last 30 to 45 minutes, using age-appropriate games, picture cards, storytelling, and interactive activities chosen to target your child's specific communication goals. Rashmi keeps sessions engaging and child-centred while systematically working on sound production, sentence building, comprehension, or conversational skills depending on the therapy plan.

How will I know if speech therapy is helping my child?

Progress is measured through regular tracking of specific targets — such as the accuracy of sound production, growth in vocabulary and sentence complexity, or improvements in conversational turn-taking. Rashmi shares periodic progress updates with parents and adjusts therapy goals as milestones are reached, ensuring that the intervention remains aligned with your child's developing communication abilities.
