I would like to place on record my most sincere thanks to Nivanka R Nishanth ! My husband had a brain stroke in February and as a result his speech and swallowing were badly affected ! On Pratiksha’s recommendation we were lucky to have Nivanka as our SLT and we began our sessions with her in May! Her utmost dedication, wonderful guidance and appropriate therapies soon saw my husband begin to swallow. Her patient yet firm handling of my husband’s fears helped him to overcome them and as a result after just a couple of sessions we could see good progress! The home program that she gave us was very helpful as was the prompt feedback we would get after every session ! And even when the sessions went beyond the stipulated time sometimes Nivanka would continue to listen to our concerns with great patience !
We are indeed indebted to her and would highly recommend her if someone were to need any assistance with a similar problem!
God bless you, Nivanka !
