Dr.Safa Horani

Speech and Language Pathologist

As the Founder and General Manager of Sunflowers Child Development Center, I lead a specialized facility dedicated to supporting children with special needs who are navigating developmental challenges. With a background as a seasoned speech-language pathologist, I bring over seventeen years of experience in conducting comprehensive evaluations and implementing targeted interventions. My expertise lies in treating a spectrum of disorders encompassing speech, language, voice, fluency, developmental, processing, and swallowing issues, meticulously documenting patient care throughout.

Beyond direct practice, I actively contribute to the professional community through the design and delivery of specialized training programs. Moreover, these initiatives equip fellow professionals with the tools and knowledge necessary to effectively support children with diverse communication needs. This underscores my dedication to leadership and ongoing advancement within the field of speech and language therapy.
Furthermore, my involvement in clinical research and professional training further underscores my commitment to excellence. I specialize in designing evidence-based training programs covering aural rehabilitation, speech sound disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, stuttering, and early intervention strategies, ensuring that best practices are disseminated and implemented across the discipline.
