Mrs. Naima Farooq

About

I am an experienced Speech Language Pathologist, Psychologist, and Academic, with over two decades of professional expertise in clinical practice, teaching, research, and curriculum development. Currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Riphah International University, Islamabad (since March 2022), I am actively engaged in teaching, research supervision at BS and MS levels, curriculum design, and clinical training of students. Previously, I led the Speech Language Department at Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University as a Senior Lecturer and In-charge, where I managed the BS program in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology, supervised student research, and conducted workshops for professional development.

In addition to academia, I bring extensive clinical experience through my long-standing role as a Consultant Speech Language Pathologist at InspirEducation The Bridge School (2019–present), where I specialize in IEP goal planning, staff training, and parent counseling. My earlier career includes serving at Hearers Center (PVT) LTD (2001–2010), maintaining a private practice (2005–2018), and contributing as a Speech Language Pathologist & Psychologist at AFIRM (2002–2005), where I worked with pediatric and adult populations, delivered training sessions for multidisciplinary teams, and lectured at AFPGMI.

My expertise spans across assessment, diagnosis, and intervention of a wide range of speech, language, and communication disorders, as well as research supervision and evidence-based teaching. I have supervised more than fifty BS and MS research projects and published multiple articles in Scopus-indexed, HEC-recognized, and international journals, particularly focusing on the development of standardized Urdu-language diagnostic and intervention tools.

With strong contributions to clinical training, curriculum development, and interdisciplinary collaboration, I continue to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice while actively contributing to the advancement of speech-language pathology in Pakistan.
