I’m Shalini, a pediatric speech-language pathologist with over a decade of hands-on experience in helping children and families thrive. My educational background includes a master’s degree in audiology and speech-language pathology, and I've contributed to the field with more than 10 publications. I launched Speech Kalaa, an online practice that connects families worldwide to vital resources and support. Leading a dedicated team, we take a holistic approach to communication challenges, allowing parents to share their concerns and celebrate milestones with a network of professionals at their side. My approach centers on understanding the unique journey of each family, guiding them from uncertainty to actionable solutions. I’m passionate about making sure that no parent feels alone in the process of navigating their child's speech and language development. Together, we can tackle questions like 'Is this normal?' and pave the way towards effective intervention."
