In 1989, Dr. Sajiv Adlakha formed a self-help group by the name of SWAR SUDHAR SOCIETY,which represents a productive group of individuals having diverse activities in the field of STAMMERING and fluency maintenance. Every Saturday a group of boys and girls who has stuttering (now fluent or having stuttering) assemble with the aim of public speaking through plays,speaking extempore,skits etc. Outdoor sports(cricket),picnics and other actvities are organised to deal with the habit of STUTTERING in interactive situations.With his sustained professional practice since 1986 he has proved himself to be an outstanding stuttering therapist of India.He has the credit of improving the quality of life of children,teenagers and adults.Not only this,he has also mitigated the anguish and sufferings of family members of stutterers.
Swar Sudhar Society is a society formed by people who stutter and has a strength of 1200 members, from all over India, and some even from Nepal, Abu Dabi, U.S.A, U.K, Canada & New Zealand. Founded by Dr. Sajiv Adlakha and Seema Adlakha with the objective of giving people the confidence to face life and provide a forum for exposure to the world through group activities like enacting plays, putting up performances, group discussions, etc. These activities help in removing stage fright, anxiety, nervousness, and have proved very helpful in building fluency, confidence and cultivating an emotional dominance in the stutterers speech. In addition, they help in maintaining the stable mental equilibrium in day to day discussions and interactions with others .
Their communication solutions treat a gamut of problems and speech and hearing impediments affecting the elderly, pre-school children and adults. They also train Clinicians to assess and evaluate related problems. Moreover, with an increased need of interpersonal skills, perception and an ability to communicate well there is a strong anticipated need for such clinicians. Normally the term “Personality” is assumed and related to height, built and complexion. On the contrary , although this trio does matter, in the absence of proper interpretation of communication and interaction, no positive personality can ever emerge. The essence of life lies in correct &effective communication skills, which in turn depends on the outcome of our five senses. Power of faculty to see, hear and speak the degree of communication varies from person to person .Until a few decades ago lack of any of these faculties was a tool of mimicry and ridicule. Which now fortunately is viewed in terms of ampathy.

Has contributed by way of articles in newspapers and magazines in HINDI & ENGLISH to reach the cross-section of the society.His attempt to publish books entitled - “HAKLANA AUR APKA BACHA ” &” STUTTERING AND YOUR CHILD - Question & Answers“,to educate the masses in the subject is the first of its kind in India.The books are published by renowned publishers DIAMOND POCKET BOOKS.The books also contain the experiences of some of the parents and stutterers who have managed to overcome this problem.This is very helpful in motivating others to undergo the therapy devised by Dr.Sajiv Adlakha.
