About Me​

I am Liji Elizabeth George, a qualified Speech–Language Pathologist with over 3 years of dedicated clinical experience in the assessment and intervention of pediatric communication disorders.

Professional Experience & Clinical Practice

I am currently working at Kidsbay Child Development Centre and also practice as a freelance pediatric speech and language therapist, offering therapy services both in-person and via telepractice for children across India and internationally.

Previously, I worked at Jewel Autism and Child Development Centre, where I gained extensive hands-on experience in managing children with neurodevelopmental communication disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Across my clinical journey, I have worked with approximately 150–180 pediatric cases, addressing a wide range of concerns such as:

  • Speech and language delay

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • Early communication and interaction difficulties

  • Oro-motor and speech sound production challenges

  • Oro-motor skill development and speech clarity

  • Functional communication training for daily life contexts

My therapy approach is evidence-based, individualized, and strongly focused on achieving functional communication outcomes that support the child’s real-life needs.

  • Structured and goal-oriented intervention

  • Regular caregiver guidance

  • Close collaboration with educators and professionals
