by Vivek Sharma

I took speech therapy at Adlakha Speech & Hearing Clinic after completing my graduation from S.R.C.C. I am 21 years old. I first started speech therapy in Kathmandu in the year 1996. There was slight improvement in my speech when I was in regular touch with the therapist but Stammering was still there. After that I came to Delhi after getting admission in Sri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi. In 1st + 2nd year of my college I did not care much about my speech but when I was in final year, I was very much tense due to my Stammering problem. I started surfing net and got the address of Adlakha Speech & Hearing Clinic from the website.

I took an appointment for initial consultation in which apparent and psychological analysis was done. My problem was analyzed from all the angles and explained the remedial measures. I started speech Therapy with Mrs. Seema Adlakha and Dr. Sajiv Adlakha from 19th June. Before joining, I was very much tensed about my speech. If any one talked about my speech, I felt very uneasy. I used to avoid talking on phones and meeting new people.

But after therapy my confidence level has increased quite a lot. I started taking interest while talking on phone and meeting friends. Now after 8 months of therapy I am doing my practice regularly and will continue it. Dr. Sajiv Adlakha has not only helped me in my speech, but also in my personality. Before therapy I was very worried about my Speech. I used to think that Stammering is very bad to be talked about and discussed about, now it is opposite. I myself grab the opportunity to talk in the group. Earlier friends used to say Vivek is a good listener but now I am known for more talking and a good communicator.

I have come to the conclusion that one has to submit himself fully so that
different ideas can come in Positive change will follow. I have understood now that success is a journey not a destination.

Thanks to Adlakha’s Saturday Self Help Group in building my confidence.
