About Karanveer

I am a bilingual speech-language pathologist dedicated to providing culturally responsive speech and language therapy to diverse populations. I earned my Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology with a Bilingual Extension from Teachers College, Columbia University, and my Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University at Buffalo, where I also minored in Spanish, Education, and Counseling. As a certified speech-language pathologist (CCC-SLP) and a certified Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities (TSSLD), I specialize in working with monolingual and bilingual individuals across various settings. Fluent in Punjabi, Hindi/Urdu, and Spanish, I integrate multilingual strategies to support communication and academic success. Currently, I provide speech-language therapy at IS 206 in the Bronx, where I collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, maintain IEP fidelity, and implement individualized interventions for culturally and linguistically diverse students. I also offer home care speech services, ensuring that patients receive personalized care in a familiar environment. My previous experience includes working as a clinical fellow at The Parkchester Elementary School and providing therapy to high school students at The George Washington Educational Campus. In a medical setting, I assessed and treated pediatric and geriatric patients at Yale New Haven Health–Greenwich Hospital, focusing on voice therapy, swallowing evaluations, and culturally sensitive care. Beyond my clinical work, I have contributed to research in bilingual assessment, phonological sensitivity, and speech-language development as a research assistant at Columbia University and the University at Buffalo. My passion for community outreach has led me to work as a youth educator and volunteer, supporting underserved populations in education and communication development. I am committed to delivering evidence-based, patient-centered care that empowers individuals to communicate effectively and confidently in their daily lives.
