My 3.5 year old son was struggling to say even a word and he would only scream, shout and cry to convey his needs or seek our attention and he had a lot of ridgity so we enrolled him in Samvaad and now we can see visible results of him trying to speak independently in 2-3 word phrases in Kannada as well as English and even his screaming, shouting and ridgity has become very less now.
I'm grateful that the Samvaad team has highly experienced and skilled therapists especially Ms. Niharika, she handled our son in a very good manner that we saw visible results in a very short period of time which created a ray of hope for us too and now after one year of therapy we can see our son has shown a lot of improvement.
I would like to Thank Radhika Ma'am, Suchi Ma'am and Samvaad team for doing such a wonderful job.

We are taking online ABA therapy with Nafila mam under the guidance of Radhika Poovayya mam. It's been three months now and our 5 year old son has improved significantly. He is able to ask for his needs and we as parents have learnt to handle the situation in right manner.
The guidance we got has helped us a lot to teach good behavior to our son and we hope it improves with all the strategies that therapists ask us to apply and wish to see our son thriving. Thank you Nafila mam for all the guidance.

My son wasnt talking at all... no words all other than crying for food and sleep...No eye contact ... Its been 7 months now and have seen amazing improvement... He now speaks in sentances... trys to interact and make wvery good eye contact.. Also my son did not chew his food and eat although he's around 3.5 years old, but now within few weeks hes up to eating stuff like almonds chewing nicely before eating. Therapy just anywhere is not important, choosing the right place and the right specialist is important...
Am glad we chose Radhika Maam*** ***** **** **** *** **** ******* ** *** ** *** *** **** *** ** ***** ** *** **** ******* *** ** ****** Yohans teachers .. Pruthvi and Aishwarya are very dedicated aiming to see results than just merely getting done with a class for the sake of it, which is what i require and expect as a parents. Am truely satisfied with the strategy, goals on a monthly basis, and the work put in to achieve those targets. Thank you much for making our lives better...

We have been taking online ABA therapy sessions for the past six months with Radhika Poovayya and Niharika for our 5-year-old son, and the change we have seen has been truly heart-touching. When we started, he struggled to communicate his needs and could only say a few words with a lot of inconsistency. Today, he is able to express himself so much more clearly and confidently. Seeing him ask for what he wants and communicate with us has been one of the happiest moments of our journey.
His attention span has also transformed — from not being able to sit for even five minutes to now focusing on activities for 30–45 minutes. We never imagined we would reach this stage so soon, and it fills us with so much hope for his future.
What makes this journey even more special is the way Radhika and Niharika support us. They explain everything with such patience and kindness. They guide us without any judgment and make sure we feel supported every step of the way. Their dedication is beyond words, and we feel truly blessed to have them helping our son.
We are deeply grateful for everything they have done, and we wholeheartedly recommend their ABA therapy services to any family seeking support and hope.

We approached Samvaad for speech delay of our 4 yr old daughter. The whole team under the able guidance of Radhika mam made us really comfortable with the whole process. They promised they would show progress in 3 months, and they delivered on that promise. Our daughter is able to communicate her thoughts and needs in spoken language. ABA therapy has done wonders and it is also so kid friendly, she enjoys her time during therapy and stills comes out learning new words and skills. I really like the way they handle the kids, even when they throw tantrums, they never really pressurise the kids nor do they allow parents to do so. They also let the parents to be part of sessions and encourage them to practice at home also. **** ****** **** ** **** *** **** *** **** ******** ** *** *****

We couldn't have picked a better ABA Therapy for our 7-yr old son. He was diagnosed with ASD (High functioning) at 6 years of age. He had been struggling socially and that's when we came across Samvaad. Our son has made tremendous progress in 3 short months, thanks to Samvaad. He went from speaking a few words at a time to long descriptions and holding conversations.
Radhika Poovaiyya, the founder, conducts a deep, thorough assessment before commencing the sessions to come up with a very well curated plan to help your child in all the key areas. Our son's Speech Therapists, Nafila and Niharika, were brilliant, sweet, warm & kind throughout, progressively putting together a plan for our son for every session and playfully & effortlessly guiding him through it. Our son bonded so well with them that he would excitedly look forward to every session with Nafila & Niharika.
Parents are allowed to sit in through the sessions and boy, they have been highly rewarding for me as well, by exposing the unintentional mistakes we all tend to make as a parent. Needless to say, I got to learn a great deal at Samvaad right alongside my son. Before we knew it, we both were making strides under their gentle guidance. Jaya Ma'am walked us kindly & smoothly through the process, as professional as the rest of the staff with her pleasant, calming presence at the reception.
To anyone who's looking for ABA Therapy for their children, I highly recommend Samvaad. Also, it's never too late when it comes to Speech Therapy. From our own experience, it's been clear that even older children with such concerns can benefit tremendously from Speech Therapy, especially at Samvaad.

I started going to samvaad 2 years ago for my son, he's currently doing ABA Therapy . His behaviour has improved after the therapy, before he wouldn't sit still in a place but now he does and his social skills have improved very well before he would only be with me and ignore others but now he tries to greet almost everyone. Under the guidance of Dr Radhika Ma'am I'm able to take care of my son better everyday, I like to mention Suchi Ma'am and Jaya Ma'am for their patience and kindness.
