Krystal Dharmadji

Hi, nice to meet you! I’m Krystal. Born in Jakarta, Indonesia and raised in Singapore, my roots come from both places. Over the last year, I’ve had the privilege of working with families and their kids, supporting them through their communication development as a Speech Therapy Assistant. I am grateful to be a part of my clients’ journeys to achieving their utmost potential.

As a Speech Therapy Assistant, I assist the Speech Therapists with group sessions and intervention in the areas of speech, language, and social communication skills. I adopt a play-based approach and believe that building trust with a child and developing a relationship based on understanding and acceptance is key in fostering a positive and nurturing therapeutic environment. Acknowledging that not one child is like another, I also work closely with the Speech Therapists I assist in order to ensure that every client experiences individualised, holistic care. Using one’s strengths to support developing skills is just one way I build confidence for the little ones to communicate their wants and needs. I always ensure that I create a safe and self-affirming space whenever with them. I believe that learning can take place anywhere and I place importance on collaborating with the educators and caretakers of the child, be it school teachers or you, the parent! I believe in the strong values of community, where I aim to build communicative relationships with the families I work with.
