One clinician, one room
Vidyasagar is the founder and clinical director of Cornerstone, an RCI registered speech-language pathologist and audiologist with 17 years of clinical experience. He opened the first Cornerstone centre in Kalyan Nagar in 2014, when therapy options for children were difficult to find, and the practice has since grown into a multidisciplinary team across two centres.
His work centres on communication, motor speech, feeding and social interaction. He follows a strengths and needs based approach, using naturalistic, relationship-based methods that respect how each child learns, communicates and experiences the world. Parents are partners in every plan, so progress carries over into home and daily life.
Vidyasagar is Hanen certified in More Than Words and TalkAbility, and is trained in PECS (Levels 1 and 2). He also holds advanced training in PROMPT, SOS and AEIOU feeding approaches, TalkTools, Social Thinking, Sensory Integration, NDT and Play Therapy, gained through several national and international certifications. He has been mentored by Lois Kam Heyman and Caroline Bowen, and is inspired by the work of Carrie Ebert and Pam Marshall.
A graduate-level teacher, he has mentored over 100 clinicians across more than a decade, including his own staff, interns and other professionals, and has trained over 1,000 professionals through workshops, talks and internships. He believes strongly in teamwork over solo practice. At Cornerstone, he works alongside every team member, because the best outcomes for a child come when speech, occupational therapy, behaviour and psychology work together with the family.
