Welcome!
I am Pratibha Srinivasan, AuD, CCC-A, LSLS Cert.AVT. I am a consultant offering a variety of services to parents, professionals, and institutions concerned with teaching children with hearing loss to listen and talk.
Parents
I offer intensive programs for families who don't have access to a qualified, experienced, certified auditory-verbal therapist where they live. I also offer formal evaluation and recommendations for children already in a program. In addition, I provide follow-up services through live video sessions over the internet.
