Meet Ameera

Ameera Thokan is a dual-qualified Speech-Language Therapist and Audiologist, based in Bryanston, Johannesburg. She graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand with a BA in Speech and Hearing Therapy and completed her community service year at Mapulaneng Regional Hospital.

With clinical experience across private practices, hospitals, and special needs centres, Ameera has worked with a wide range of clients — from newborns and fussy feeders to adults recovering from strokes, TBIs, or neurological conditions. She is known for her warm approach, strong interdisciplinary collaboration, and clear communication with both families and professionals.

Her additional training includes:

• PROMPT (Introduction) – tactile cueing for speech clarity
• DIR/Floortime-informed – relationship-based development
• Makaton (Level 1) – sign-supported communication
• Courses in Sensory Integration, Cortical Visual Impairment, Autism, Apraxia, Hyperlexia, and more.

Ameera is also the founder of Amani Inkd, a non-profit organisation that advocates for humanitarian causes and community support, a reflection of her deep care for people, both inside and outside the therapy room.
