SRESHT Lab
The SRESHT Lab’s focus is on translational research that supports the meaningful integration of technology
(tele-practice) to provide access to early identification and intervention services for children with
speech, language, and hearing disorders in rural and semi-urban communities.
The lab is conceptualized and led by Dr. Vidya Ramkumar, an
India Alliance Intermediate Fellow in Clinical and Public Health Research and
Professor at the Sri Ramachandra Faculty of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology @
SRIHER (DU), Chennai.
The geographical distribution and availability of speech-language therapy and audiology services is skewed in
India and other low- and middle-income countries. Hence, the needs of a vast population in remote rural and
semi-urban regions remain unmet.
Therefore, our projects and implementation support aim to explore alternative models of service delivery
with on-field collaborators to bridge these service gaps.
