Frequently Asked Questions
Showing 8 of 21 questions
?What is paediatric speech & language therapy and how can it help my child?
Paediatric speech and language therapy supports children who need help developing communication skills such as first words, pronunciation, fluency, voice, understanding language, expressing themselves, social communication, and overall interaction. It also helps children with more complex communication needs such as use of Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) devices.
At The Speech Clinic Dubai, we use evidence-based approaches, advanced assessment tools, and AAC systems (for children who require alternative ways to communicate) to help your child communicate more confidently and effectively.
?What kinds of speech & language difficulties do you treat?
We support children with a wide range of speech and language needs, including:
- • Delayed speech development or late emergence of first words
- • Articulation difficulties (trouble pronouncing certain sounds clearly)
- • Expressive and receptive language delays
- • Fluency challenges, such as stuttering or interruptions in speech flow
- • Social communication difficulties, including challenges with conversation and interaction
- • Need for AAC due to physical, developmental, or cognitive challenges
- • Orofacial myofunctional concerns, such as tongue-tie or other oral-motor difficulties
- • Voice concerns such as hoarse voice or vocal fatigue
- • And other related speech, language, and communication needs
?How do I know if my child needs speech & language therapy?
Your child may benefit from an assessment if they show:
- • Few or unclear spoken words by the expected age
- • Difficulty being understood by family, friends, or teachers
- • Trouble following or understanding simple instructions
- • Frequent speech disruptions or stuttering
- • Challenges using language socially (sharing ideas, playing with peers, waiting)
- • Limited comprehension and expression of non-verbal communication such as gestures, facial expressions
- • Difficulty expressing desire, needs or wants
- • Expresses in melodic/cartoonic speech but not meaningfully or by using appropriate words
If you notice any of these signs, an evaluation can help determine what support your child needs.
?Can speech therapy help bilingual children?
Yes. Growing up with two or more languages is normal in Dubai. We assess both languages and help your child communicate confidently across home and school settings.
?Which age groups do you work with?
We specialise in children from early childhood through 16 years of age. Our services are tailored specifically for this age range and for families living in the Dubai and UAE community.
?What happens at my child's first session?
During the initial evaluation, our speech-language pathologist will:
- • Review your child's developmental, medical, and communication history
- • Observe how your child speaks, understands language, plays, and interacts
- • Assess specific areas (oro-motor sensory skills, speech sounds, vocabulary, grammar, social communication, AAC needs)
- • Discuss goals with you in a collaborative approach
- • Design a personalised therapy plan including home and school based strategies

?Do you provide groups for children with higher language skills?
Indeed. We offer both individual therapy and group based therapy. Our buddy pair system, involves a small, closed-group setting with two children. This setting helps children expand and apply their learned skills in the presence of a peer, encouraging social communication in a minimally challenging and supportive environment.
We also provide Saturday group therapy sessions for children focussing on higher language skills. These sessions focus on generalizing learned skills in broader social contexts, promoting interaction, confidence, and effective communication with peers.
