Mythili Chengapa
Founder & CEO
Ms. Mythili Chengapa, a mum of 2 young boys, personally involved in the process of parenting and the challenges that come with it. On the professional front as part of the Management Team at an International Kindergarten for 5 years, it constantly felt like there were very limited options to help these children, their parents and the teachers - who without a specialist's help, were struggling to make progress with the child's learning. This sparked a genuine interest to find solutions to make this journey easier for all those concerned.

The answer was to find the best resources and try to bring International Standard services to Cambodia. One that could be relied on to see results. 

"Having lived in Cambodia for 11 years, I have grown to love the people, the culture the language and am immensely grateful for all that Cambodia has given me. To be able to provide this service here, as well as to be able to bring awareness and answer the many questions parents may have, in their own language has been a truly fulfilling experience. Helping families improve the quality of their lives through ABA led strategies, one step at a time has given Team Smilestones many reasons to persevere towards making ABA a preferred choice for families looking to help their child achieve their unique potential.

We also provide plain Speech therapy and are exploring the latest possibilities of using AAC (Augmentative Alternative Communication) and staying abreast with all the ways we can help our children communicate successfully. We support your child's communication journey in whichever way works best for them.
Over the last 6 years, we are glad to have been able to begin training programmes, in Khmer and English, as well as awareness campaigns in Khmer to reach a larger number of the population and bring awareness and inclusivity even to the grassroots of Cambodia.
We are constantly exploring more ways in which we can provide more for our children, and effective regulation strategies is a work in progress. We are so proud of how far we have come, and we  look forward to the miles to go!"
