Shivani Bhakta M.S. CCC-SLP

Dynamic Communication was created by Shivani Bhakta, a certified California Speech-Language Pathologist. At Dynamic Communication we always aim to use a child centered approach. In addition, Shivani whole heartedly wants to always keep therapy fun and functional for the client and their family. Collaboration is a key component for the child’s success. Here at Dynamic Communication we partner with our families, their school, and other professionals who work with the child.

Shivani received her undergraduate degree from UCLA in Linguistics with Psychology and a minor in Disability Studies, and her graduate degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of the Pacific. She holds her Clinical Certificate of Competence (CCC) with ASHA and is licensed to practice in California (CA). She has supervised graduate student clinicians and SLPAs since 2018. In addition, Shivani holds the Award for Continuing Education (ACE) in 2019 for her participation in continuously learning about the field.

Shivani has worked with birth through middle school-aged children in private practices, clinics, and school settings in the areas of receptive/expressive/pragmatic language, articulation/phonology, fluency, AAC, and cognitive skills. One of Shivani’s favorite parts of this field is the collaboration within the field and across other disciplines (e.g., OT, PT, GE/SPED Teams). Collaboration is a key component in order for Shivani to continue to educate herself and always finds the best ways to support her clients.
