Empowering Every Child’s Voice: The Vision of Dr. Radhika and Dr. Rohan Navelkar

At the heart of every parent’s dream is the sound of their child’s first words. However, for many families, the journey to hearing those words is met with silence and a lack of accessible resources. Help My Child Speak is a pioneering initiative born from the clinical expertise and deep-seated empathy of Dr. Radhika R. Navelkar and Dr. Rohan S. Navelkar.

Meet the Founders

Dr. Radhika R. Navelkar | Founder & Pediatric ENT Surgeon As a specialist in Pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgery, Dr. Radhika has dedicated her career to the delicate needs of children. She understands that speech is more than just communication—it is the foundation of a child’s confidence and future. Seeing the struggles of parents unable to access consistent speech therapy, she founded this initiative to bridge the gap between medical diagnosis and real-world recovery.

Dr. Rohan S. Navelkar | Co-Founder & ENT Surgeon A renowned ENT Surgeon and digital innovator in the medical space, Dr. Rohan S. Navelkar brings a unique blend of surgical precision and a mission for "Digital Health Equality." Known for his commitment to patient-centric care, Dr. Rohan has been instrumental in scaling this initiative, ensuring that technology serves the most vulnerable members of our society.

Our Mission: Speech Therapy Without Barriers

The philosophy behind Help My Child Speak is simple yet profound: Speech is a right, not a privilege. Many children with speech delays or hearing impairments require long-term intervention that can be financially draining for families. Dr. Radhika and Dr. Rohan have structured this platform to provide:

• Zero-Charge Access: Comprehensive speech therapy resources and guidance available to everyone, regardless of their financial background.

• Compassionate Care: A clinical approach that treats every child with the same tenderness and expertise as one would their own.

• Expert Guidance: Leveraging years of ENT surgical experience to provide scientifically backed methods for speech development.

"Our goal isn't just to treat a condition; it's to nurture a voice. When a child speaks for the first time, it's a victory for the whole family. We are here to make those victories possible for every home in India." — Dr. Radhika R. Navelkar

A Better Future for Pediatric ENT Care

Through their clinics, Entina and Lotus Hospital, Dr. Radhika and Dr. Rohan S. Navelkar have already established a legacy of medical excellence. With Help My Child Speak, they are extending that legacy into the digital realm, ensuring that their expertise as ENT surgeons benefits children far beyond the walls of an operating theater.

By combining the "Mother-Goddess" spirit of nurturing with modern surgical expertise, the Navelkars are not just treating patients—they are building a community where no child is left in silence.
