Looking for Speech therapy center

The Developing Child Centre. My son sees an amazing ST named Med Klein.

Kalimati in Mirdif, Reach out in Knowledge Village, stepping stones in health care city, Child Learning & Enrichment Medical Center in Al wasil Road.

can you tell me which speech therapist is good in kids-first ?they have 6 experts and a friend of mine said she didnt have a good experience there.... i am actually looking for a good speech professional not a good center.

I have four children - three of whom have had speech delay issues. My son started at a nursery in Dubai around the age of two and a half but it wasn't until a year and a half later that a comment made by the primary school I was trying to get him into suggested that he might be speech delayed. I, of course felt so guilty about not recognising the problem myself and couldn't understand why the nursery hadn't recognised it either. So we started on the long journey of separate speech therapy sessions and he has improved so much thank goodness. So when my youngest daughter was approaching nursery age (and a doctor had said that she was showing signs of a speech delay during a routine visit) I was keen to find a nursery that could help her with her possible speech delay before we had to resort to long term speech therapy sessions again. Then I found 'Play and Learn' nursery near Safa Park (www.playandlearn.ws) which is owned by a UK trained Speech and Language therapist and offers early intervention assessments and home programs for the children she identifies as having speech issues. She monitors their progress in the classroom and suggests ways to help them develop at home. It is also a Montessori nursery and beautifully well equipped and staffed. My 22 month old has benefited so much from the attention that she gets there and we have noticed such an improvement in her vocabulary in the last couple of months. I really suggest that if you have a child with speech issues that you put your child into a nursery that will work with you on this - otherwise valuable time is lost and bad speech and language habits become harder to break later on. I know that from bitter experience with my son. My other daughter (now at primary school) was only accepted into that school on the basis that she has regular external speech therapy sessions as well. If only we had intervened earlier with her too.....

We use Kids First in Jumeriah for Speech and have been very happy. We use Kids in Motion for OT and are also very happy. Price is comparable to any other center. I have heard good things about Kalimati also. If you are close to Mirdiff there is also speech therapy available at Uptown Physio. I agree place your son in a nursery if you can as this helped my DD. We enrolled at Indigo Valley Nursery in Al Twar. They run an inclusion program which has done wonders with my DD and helped to reinforce her therapy. It's not easy to know where is good recommendations help but it also comes down to the therapist and their relationship with your child. Good luck

Dubai Community Health Centre, behind Al Nassr Leisureland has 4 speech and language therapists. I am sure one of them will be able to advise and help you.

Kids First on Al Wasl Road come in to our school to do speech therapy with the kids.

I can also recommend Kalimati if you are in that area.
