At Al Salam Center for Learning Disabilities in the UAE, we are committed to helping children who face difficulties with communication, speech, and language development. Our specialized Speech and Language Therapy program is designed to support children with delayed speech, articulation challenges, stuttering, and difficulties in understanding or expressing language. Through compassionate, individualized care, we empower children to find their voice and build the confidence to express themselves in daily life.
When the Body Speaks
Many parents are unsure when to seek help—but early intervention makes a significant difference. If your child avoids speaking, uses limited vocabulary for their age, has trouble pronouncing words, or struggles to form sentences, these may be signs of a speech or language delay. Other symptoms include stuttering, difficulty following directions, unclear speech, or challenges in social interaction and conversation.
In younger children, red flags may include not babbling by 12 months, not saying their first words by 18 months, or not combining words into phrases by age 2. Children with autism spectrum disorders or developmental delays may also benefit greatly from speech therapy.
If you notice any of the above symptoms, the next step is to schedule a speech-language evaluation at Al Salam Center. Our licensed speech-language pathologists will assess your child’s expressive and receptive communication skills through standardized tools and playful, engaging activities. Based on the results, we’ll craft a customized therapy plan tailored to their specific goals—be it improving articulation, language comprehension, social communication, or fluency.
Parents play a vital role in this journey. We provide strategies and home-based exercises to reinforce progress made during sessions, making you an active participant in your child’s development.
Treatment Advantages
Our therapy sessions are designed to be interactive, enjoyable, and encouraging—especially for young minds. We use evidence-based techniques, including play-based learning, visual aids, language games, AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) tools, and interactive software when needed. With small therapist-to-child ratios and one-on-one sessions, your child receives the attention and support necessary to thrive.
Speech therapy at Al Salam Center doesn’t just treat the surface issues—it supports broader academic, social, and emotional development. Our therapists collaborate with educators, occupational therapists, and psychologists to ensure holistic care.
Children who receive speech therapy experience improvements in clarity of speech, vocabulary usage, reading readiness, social interaction, and confidence in communicating. These gains lead to better academic performance and more fulfilling social relationships. In many cases, early speech intervention prevents future difficulties in literacy and learning.
Most importantly, your child learns how to be heard and understood—essential skills for success and independence in life.
