About Rise2Reach Speech Therapy
Specialized Speech and Feeding Therapy for Children (ages 0-12)
At Rise2Reach Speech Therapy and Feeding Works, Inc., we believe that every child has a unique way of connecting with the world. Whether your child is struggling to be understood, navigating a new diagnosis, or finding mealtimes difficult, we are here to provide the steady, expert guidance you need.

Meet the Therapist- Anjali Manu, MSc., CCC-SLP
Hi! I’m Anjali, a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder of Rise2Reach. With over 12 years of experience in pediatric therapy, particularly in early intervention, I help children build communication skills and provide support to families every step of the way.
A Global Perspective on Care
My journey in speech-language pathology has been truly global. I earned my Master of Science from the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH). Before starting my practice here in California, I had the privilege of working with diverse families across India and Singapore. This international experience has shaped my ability to connect with families from all walks of life and understand the unique cultural nuances of communication and care.
Advanced Training for Real-World Progress
I am committed to providing state-of-the-art, high-quality services. This means I never stop learning. My approach is grounded in evidence-based methods and specialized certifications, including:
- Hanen: More Than Words® Certified: Empowering parents of children on the autism spectrum to help their children communicate.
- Feeding & Sensory-Motor Specialist: Certified in the TalkTools® Sensory-Motor Approach to Feeding and Oral Placement Therapy (Level 1).
- Support for Anxious Eaters: Trained in the Get Permission Approach, helping families navigate mealtime challenges with peace and confidence.
Therapy That Fits Your Life
I founded Rise2Reach because I wanted the freedom to serve children through truly personalized care. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. By collaborating directly with you, we set goals that are meaningful, achievable, and functional for your daily life. Whether we meet in the comfort of your home or via telehealth, I am here to walk beside you every step of the way.
Beyond the Clinic
When I’m not working with families, I’m navigating the wonderful chaos of being a mom to my two boys. I have a deep passion for the arts; I love to dance and am currently a student of Indian classical music vocals. I bring that same love for learning, rhythm, and connection into every session with your family.
