Ms. Radhika Poovayya

My grand child, who was diagnosed with ASD, when he was 2 yrs, was a great shock to our family, we ran to different doctors and therapists for nearly 3 years, with out any improvement,his expression of emotions was nil, and absolutely no understanding, and non verbal. Fortunately we came across Samvaad, this March, and met Doctor Radhika Poovayya, a God sent Angel, she gave us a ray of hope, and his healing journey started,we are thankful and greatful to her and her team, special thanks to therapist Libina benny mam , Ashwini mam and Suchita mam for guiding us through, their professionalism is amazing.His understanding has improved tremendously, he has calmed down and doesn't throw tantrums.he has started uttering words, we hope to see more in days to come, thank you is a small word to express our happiness,***

Excellent speech therapist—very patient, very ************** skilled, and supportive. She analyzed the problem of my child very well. Highly recommended.

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.

We had been to a couple of therapists before we started with Ms Radhika to get some support for our son who has some speech delay.

The empathy with which Ms Radhika spoke with us reassured that our son will be fine and catch up within a short period of time. Until we met her, we unfortunately used to come across therapists who were neither as qualified as she is not had the ability to strategise a plan to help my son scale up.

As a therapist, one must know how to listen amd speak with empathy and to provide a well balanced medical opinion. There shouldn't be any intense recommendation such has going hard on the child etc. Ms Radhika's therapy sessions builds on the foundations of "no force" and "no scolding" and to let the child himself or herself become more expressive through their guided sessions which jad been working quite well for my son.

Most importantly, Ms Radhika stays engaged with on the ground therapists throughout, monitoring progress and suggesting changes to plans as required. **** *** **** ***** ** ***** *** *** ****** ** **** *** **** *** *********** ** **** ******* *** ** * **** ****.

We still have some distance to cover but by God's grace and under her tutelage , we are very hopeful that we will overcome this hurdle.

We had a wonderful experience with Samvad Speech Therapist. In just 45 days, I’ve seen a remarkable improvement in my child’s speaking skills. Earlier, I was constantly worried and burdened with the thought that he wasn’t able to express himself, but now he talks, expresses, and communicates much more clearly. The team at Samvad is patient, professional, and genuinely invested in the child’s progress. Each session was well-structured and engaging, making it easy for my child to open up and participate actively. I feel relieved and much more hopeful now. I’m truly grateful to the therapists for their dedication and the positive change they brought into our lives. Highly recommended!

My son was born in Novemeber 2020.

Till 2 years of age, his immunity level was, he was falling sick very often

but his development was more or less on the track from our observations.

He was able to speak few words also. After 2 years he strted regressing then we suspected something wrong and started visitng many doctors and therapists.

We have started consulting Radhika Madam from the beginning of 2024.

Before that (for 1 year) we were taking regular therapy sessions from other centers for OT and ST, we observed benfits due to OT but no imrpovement in speech (verbal or sign).

We stay far from Samvaad center so we take online ABA classes. We have seen

some imrovement in my sons understanding and sign languages. Radhika Madam and her team is good and have structured program (with time to modification as per requirement) for particular kids. We are continuing the online ABA sessions from Samvaad because we are observing little (but very big from the my son's condition) but positivie changes. We hope for better results with each passing day. Thanks a lot to Radhika Madam and her whole team for their help, support, enthusiam and encouragement.

Mohammad, my 8 and a half year old son who's currently on antiepileptics, had behaviour issues. I had lots of issues with his behaviour particularly in a social environment, his English language communication was limited to monosyllables eventhough ** *** * **** ********** expression of emotions was missing and to make matters more challenging, he was hyperactive. In August I was introduced Samvaad therapy Center by my sister and I call this as a magical therapy center. In just 2 and a half month of classes I have seen an incredible change in Mohammad. Now, my son is confident in his expression, speaks English fluently in terms of sentences. And I'am sure with contiued support from everyone at Samvaad my son will surely make them proud. In few months down the line I can see my son standing at par with everyone, matching step to step.

Thank you is a small word but at times this word is big enough to convey all the emotions. So, my heartfelt thanks to Samvaad therapy center, director Dr. Radhika ma'am, seniour supervisor Ms. Suchita ma'am, therapists Ms Soumya, Mr. Ashwin and her incredible team.

Lots of love and regards,

Umme Asma Qamar

My 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with a mild ASD which hampered her interpersonal communication skills resulting in severe tantrums and non-cooperation. I went to Radhika Maam with very little hope, however she assured me that Applied Behavior Therapy (ABA) is the right line of treatment for my daughter, no meds required. With persistent therapy you will see radical transformation.

On the first day my daughter cried for 1.5 hours, but she sat with us patiently and waited for tantrum to die down. As parents we were apprehensive, but surprisingly it worked! Eventually, with every session there was improvement.

Now, after two months of regular therapy with Ms. Uttara (one of her therapist), my daughter has turned into an angel with absolute obedience and very very rare tantrums, that too die out in few minutes. Her communication skills, language, vocabulary is radically improved, and she would be ready for a regular school in June this year.

I am glad that I consulted her. Her experience in this field and impeccable knowledge of various behavior issues in children, is a boon for parents who are struggling with children with ASD, ADHD or simply behaviour issues.

Visited Samvaad-Domlur in January 2016 for a consultation for my son as per the advice of my pediatrician. It was a Saturday afternoon, with just a 20 minutes casual talk, we were immediately suggested to go for a 1 year speech therapy without any making any final analysis or conclusion. The focus was more on getting the consultation fee which was a whopping INR 3000 for a 20 minute session. Now starts the speech therapy, it begins with a INR 2000 admission fee and pay upfront for 12 sessions - 3 each in a week (each costing INR 600), with flexible rules stating if we miss 2 sessions, then we can compensate for 2 in the same month or we forfeit it for the month. The session is only for 45 mins, where the instructor spends 20 mins as planned activity and the remaining 25 mins is more of play-time. When we asked the instructor, if we can know what is planned for the next day or month for the session, the answer would be "We need to plan and will let you know", a clear tactic to play the waiting game and invite us for the next set of INR 7200 (600 * 12).

Overall, a very bad experience for me and I withdrew immediately after a month.
