Our Approach
Magpie Speech Therapy has always believed in following E.B.P. (Evidence Based Practice) not as a matter of choice but a principle in its work style. We strongly believe using flash-cards and non-realistic/ non-meaningful table top activities is not acceptable. A successful intervention plan begins with a detailed and thorough assessment. The What, Why & How should be clear.
​
Our Approach is a mix of child led activities and direct teaching focus. Unlike schools of thought where "materials/toys" are the central characters, we carefully choose natural real life activities and replace toys as minimal teaching aids/accessories. Socially Interactive, dynamic activities with specific targeted language are the most significant factors for the child's social-emotional development. It enables the child to quickly generalize/use a newly learnt skill with a new person in a new environment.
​
Our Work Place: We wanted the décor of our center to be kid friendly, colorful, warm, welcoming……the list was endless. Above all, we wanted to keep the parents in mind too. Transparency and visibility in every therapy room making it accessible and comforting for parents was critical. Parents spend a major part of their day traversing therapy centers in midst of the maddening Bengaluru traffic and their child’s unexpected meltdowns. They need to uphold enthusiasm and energy to successfully be a part of the therapy session and support the efforts of the SLP. And that’s when the idea of Motivational Walls took birth. We consciously decided Magpie had to have the most amazing set of quotes celebrating children, their spirit, the parents, the therapists and the “Never Give Up” attitude in all of us.
​
Team Magpie: Over the past few years Magpie has not only been able to build a fantastic team but also maintained it with aplomb! The credit goes to each one of us for not trying to hog the limelight rather motivating and sharing credit for achievements. Brainstorming around roadblocks and taking care of each other, at the same time supporting the children and their families. All our therapists are highly trained and certified in multiple approaches, driven by their own passion and interest. Our therapists are selected by a rigorous interview process to match our golden standards.
​
Our Processes: A weekly meeting to brainstorm challenges and review progress is a must at our work place. Since we are a BIG team, we use this to our advantage by making sure we take informed clinical decisions & share ideas. All our therapists have weekly meetings with Namrata Pai (Founder) and monthly meetings with parents to discuss progress and next action plan. We constantly train ourselves with therapy tools & techniques that have been researched and proven in the field of communication intervention.
Tell Me, Show Me, Involve Me and I Will Still Test It..... and Only Then Believe It
