TRANSFORMATIVE MILESTONES
Bridging Speech-Language Pathology & Applied Behavior Analysis
Founded by a Johns Hopkins- and UCSF-trained scientist-clinician specializing in language, behavior, and development.
Meet Dr. Priya Ramaswamy
Research and Academic Background
Dr. Priya Ramaswamy is a Princeton-based speech-language pathologist and board-certified behavior analyst with a PhD in Biology from Johns Hopkins University and postdoctoral training at UCSF.
Her work integrates experimental rigor from the life sciences with clinical expertise in speech-language pathology and behavior analysis. She is particularly interested in how early language development unfolds in real-world contexts and how caregiver-child interaction shapes learning.
In addition to clinical work, she maintains an active interest in translational developmental research involving young children and families.

Why Dual Services?
Dr. Ramaswamy's work is informed by a research background in developmental science and language learning. The goals of ABA therapy and SLP therapy complement each other as they converge on the ultimate target of successful communication. In developing therapy plans, Dr. Ramaswamy offers a unique approach in which skills are targeted through quantitative analysis of each child's special skill set and is driven by data-based decisions.
Whether a family is seeking traditional speech therapy, language support, behavior therapy, parent training or a school liaison, Priya is equipped to address your family's needs. Ultimately, she views herself as a partner, her goal being to implement sustainable strategies for her families.
