Bisma Dafadar

I am a Pediatric speech language pathologist with 13+ years of experience in leading hospitals like Surya Children’s hospital & Bhabha Atomic Research center hospital along with dynamic set ups like child development centers, NGOs & private practice. Currently, I am a part time consultant at Samphia, Kullu & Master trainer at MAITS- a UK based charity. My expertise lies in working in early intervention of children with Autism, late talkers, late misarticulations & apraxia.

My blog page @thespeakingmummy on Instagram has a worldwide community of 100k + people, I share tips, strategies & activities to develop speech, language and communication in children & provides online-consultations. I started her own venture, FirstWords in 2023 to create speech language development materials for children.

Parent training & guidance is the most important part of my service. I believe that only if we train or help parents to carryover the therapy program at home, we will be able to see significant progress in the child. Our therapy sessions are once in a fortnight, making it more affordable & convenient for parents. Every home program is tailored to an individual child’s needs & difficulties.

I offer online speech & language assessments, parent guidance programs, play-based therapy support for children with Autism, late talkers, apraxia, cognitive delays, misarticulations & stuttering.
