Frequently Asked Questions
What age should speech therapy start?
Speech therapy can start as early as 12-18 months for children showing communication delays. Early intervention is most effective, but we provide services for children of all ages. The earlier therapy begins, the better the outcomes typically are.
How long does speech therapy take to show results?
Most families see noticeable improvements within 2-3 months of consistent speech therapy. However, the timeline varies depending on the child's individual needs, the severity of the disorder, and family consistency with home practice. We provide regular progress updates and adjust programs as needed.
Can speech therapy help with reading difficulties?
Yes, speech therapy can significantly help with reading difficulties. Many reading problems stem from underlying language and phonological processing issues. Our speech therapists work on foundational language skills that directly support reading development and comprehension.
Is speech therapy covered by insurance in Dubai?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and policy. Many insurance plans in Dubai do cover speech therapy, especially when prescribed by a qualified professional. We can help you understand your coverage and work with your insurance provider.
How often should speech therapy sessions occur?
We typically recommend 1-2 sessions per week for optimal results, combined with daily home practice. The frequency can be adjusted based on your child's needs, family schedule, and progress. We also offer intensive programs during school breaks.
