Nirali Chauhan
Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP)
Hi, I’m Nirali! I became a speech-language pathologist because I’ve always felt called to help others and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. What continues to inspire me most is building strong connections with clients and families while supporting each person’s unique communication journey.
I’ve worked in both public school and private practice settings, supporting children with a variety of communication needs. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to learn from incredible mentors and interdisciplinary teams that have shaped both my clinical skills and personal approach to care.
I’m especially passionate about sensory-informed therapy and creating individualized supports that help children feel engaged, confident, and successful. During my time at Playworks, I collaborated closely with occupational therapists and deepened my understanding of sensory integration and DIRFloortime®. I also attended specialized training at the Celebrations Speech Group to observe DIRFloortime in practice and expand my knowledge of relationship-based care models.
My therapy approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and highly individualized. I strive to create functional, family-centered therapy experiences that honor each child’s unique strengths, interests, and sensory needs while supporting meaningful progress in everyday life.

Other interests
Outside of speech-language pathology, I have a rich tapestry of interests and hobbies. During the challenges of the pandemic, I found love and got married, and now I cherish every moment with our son. Cooking at home is a creative outlet for me, allowing me to explore new flavors and techniques. I also enjoy staying active through spin and yoga classes, finding balance and peace in movement. Nothing beats a refreshing walk outdoors, where I can connect with nature and clear my mind. Above all, I treasure the time spent with my family, creating memories and sharing laughter together.

Nirali is incredible to work with. From the very first session, she made me feel comfortable and supported, creating an environment where I felt safe to learn and improve. She is patient, professional, and truly passionate about helping her clients succeed. Every session was tailored to my needs, and she explains techniques in a way that makes them easy to understand and practice. I’ve noticed real progress since working with her, not just in my speech but also in my confidence. What sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares about her clients’ growth and well-being. I’m very grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking speech therapy.

There were a few technical issues on both ends, but with text communications and a bit of time those were sorted out. The therapist was engaging with my child. Communication from Expressable is excellent. The app is excellent. The way the report is presented and the contextual information provided and next steps was very well laid out.

Our son LOVES Nirali! He has been in speech therapy since he was maybe 2 years old, and he has hated doing speech therapy, and asked me all the time to cancel it. Now since being with Nirali since August he LOVES attending speech therapy! In fact he asks to have speech therapy every day, because of how much he enjoys doing it. I love how she customizes it to his needs and what he likes. She keeps him engaged in sessions so he doesn't lose his focus and concentration. Since starting with Nirali in August there has been a HUGE improvement in our son's speech. He does phonics tutoring and swimming lessons too, and before he was really shy, had a hard time communicating with others when teachers would ask him questions. Since switching to Expressable and having Nirali as the therapist, his teachers have been able to understand him more clearly. When at a Christmas party this past week he spoke to people with CONFIDENCE!! Which is huge! And in phonics tutoring this past week he was speaking and reading more quickly, and read a whole 13 page story within 10 minutes with no help. That's a huge improvement from even a few weeks ago. So super grateful for Expressable, and can't wait to see how he does for his re-evaluation coming up and seeing his progress!

We love Nirali! She's so patient with our son. We were a little skeptical after the previous speech therapist we had from another place was pushy, however we're so glad we switched to Expressable and Nirali is the speech therapist. She's so sweet, and really focuses on what he needs help with, and keeps him engaged with his interest for sessions. Our son has made excellent progress already with only having been with Nirali for almost 2 months. Super confident moving forward, and continuing to work together for our son's speech.

Nirali was able to keep (my child) focused and on task the whole time. She has helped him make great progress and is very willing to find new ways to incorporate things while still using ways that have been working for him.
