Comprehensive Assessments

Our assessments take a whole-child approach, integrating speech, language, literacy, sensory regulation, and developmental factors to understand each child’s full communication and learning profile.

 

Conducted by Dr. Gayatri Ram, PhD, CCC-SLP, our evaluations reflect advanced clinical expertise in speech-language pathology, autism, sensory regulation, and structured literacy.

 

This is a multi-session process designed to develop a complete, nuanced clinical picture often moving beyond what a single appointment can capture.

Expert-led speech, language, literacy and sensory informed care

Dr. Gayatri Ram, PhD., CCC-SLP is the founder of SynapseKids and a licensed speech-language pathologist with over 15 years of clinical experience in speech therapy, language development, autism support, structured literacy intervention and sensory regulation. 

Her work integrates speech, language and literacy services through a regulation-first, neurodiversity affirming approach. Services are delivered with a strong emphasis on culturally responsive care, ensuring each child's communication profile and family context are understood and supported.

The focus is not only on progress in therapy, but on helping children become confident, effective communicators who can thrive at home, in school, and in their communities.

Words That Matter

Dr. Gayatri has a made a noticeable difference in our daughter's reading skill in a short amount of time. She is patient, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive- not just with our child but with our whole family. Her guidance on how to support learning at home using sensory regulation strategies prior to reading work has made a huge impact.
