About me
Dr. Deepa J. Aier
Ph.D., CCC-SLPI’ve taught Samskritam to both adults and children with Samskrita Bharati USA (SBUSA) since 2012, and have completed the Praveśa, Paricaya, Śikṣā, and Kovida examinations. I’ve also taught Samskritam at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam during Swami Viditatmananda ji’s Bhāṣyam Camp.
Since 2017, I’ve volunteered as Director of the Children’s Education Division at Samskrita Bharati, leading national efforts in curriculum development, teacher training, and the publication of Samskritam books for children.
As a speech-language pathologist with a Ph.D. in early intervention, I bring more than 25 years of experience in language development and education to this teaching.
Outside of Samskritam teaching, I work in early childhood systems and speech-language pathology — you can read more about that work on the main RTA Pathways site.
