Speech therapist in Dubai for children
I’m Shruthi Nayak, a DHA- and RCI-certified Speech-Language Therapist in Dubai. I work with children and their families on speech, language, literacy, feeding and communication, from early communication in toddlers to reading and writing at school.
I hold a Master of Speech-Language Pathology from Manipal and an Advanced Master in Deglutology from KU Leuven, Belgium, with further training in approaches including PROMPT, DTTC, the Kaufman Protocol, Hanen and Orton-Gillingham.

How speech therapy works
A diagnosis or test score tells us part of the story. I begin by understanding each child’s individual profile (their strengths, challenges, communication, learning style and the skills beneath the difficulty) and build therapy around meaningful goals that make a difference beyond the therapy room. Parents are part of the process, so new skills carry over into home and school.
