On May 11, 2025, I had the opportunity to attend and actively contribute to the ISHA ‘Connect & Collaborate‘ Gujarat ASLPs Private Practitioners Workshop, held at the Government Spine Institute, Civil Hospital Campus in Ahmedabad. With over 80 enthusiastic participants, the event created a vibrant platform for learning, collaboration, and growth among audiologists and speech-language pathologists.

The workshop featured a diverse agenda of clinically enriching sessions delivered by highly respected professionals in our field. I attended several of these sessions, each offering valuable insights:

  • Dr. Rupali Mathur delivered a comprehensive session on “Aphasia: Overview & Differential Diagnosis,” which deepened our understanding of diagnostic clarity and treatment planning.
  • Mr. Amit Anand conducted a session on “Basics of Audiology,” which provided a helpful refresher and practical insights for daily clinical application.
  • Dr. Chandrakant Vishwakarma shared key approaches in “Practical Vertigo Management,” shedding light on balance disorders that we often encounter but rarely explore in depth.

Each session not only expanded my clinical knowledge but also reinforced the importance of continuous professional development.

Representing XceptionalLEARNING, I was honored to co-present the session on “Integration of Technology for Sustainable Clinical Practice”. Ms. Rakshitha initiated the talk with a thought-provoking overview on the necessity of digital integration in therapy settings. I followed with a live demonstration of the XceptionalLEARNING platform, showcasing its capabilities in enhancing therapy delivery, streamlining documentation, and maintaining client engagement.

The response was overwhelming. Participants were genuinely curious and excited about the potential of integrating such tools into their own practices. Many expressed their willingness to explore digital therapy solutions as a way forward in today’s evolving clinical landscape.

In addition to the live demo, our team distributed brochures outlining the features and benefits of the platform. It was heartening to receive mementos of appreciation from the organizers, and even more encouraging to see that some audience members were recognized for their active participation—a beautiful example of peer encouragement.

The event also included engaging segments like the “Meet, Greet & Empower” networking session, a direct interaction with Gujarat’s private practitioners, and concluding with certification and appreciation for all contributors.

Overall, the Gujarat ASLPs workshop was an inspiring and empowering experience. It reaffirmed my belief in the value of innovation, community learning, and the role that platforms like XceptionalLEARNING can play in transforming therapy practice. I returned from the event not just with new knowledge, but with renewed motivation to contribute to the future of speech and hearing care—one digital step at a time.
