About
Sweta grew up with a family member who was blind, partially deaf, and had multiple health conditions. She saw firsthand how her teachers at the School of the Blind helped her become self-sufficient and confident. As Sweta grew older, she realized she wanted to find a profession that allowed children with delays and disabilities to become more capable.
She has been practicing pediatric speech-language pathology for the better part of 20 years. In addition to addressing speech and language concerns, she also specializes in feeding therapy. She is a Mother to a 16-year-old with ADHD and a 12-year-old with anxiety, which has allowed her to connect on a more intimate level with parents and caregivers. She understands the struggles of parenting a child with needs.
When she is not working, Sweta loves to cook, read, and spend time with her family. She and her family love Friday movie nights, game nights, and international travel.
