Speech therapy for toddlers in Dubai?

[XB70]

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations (including where not to go!). Our little boy had ongoing problems with fluid build up in his ears which culminated in grommits.

However, while his comprehension and sentence structure is excellent, his prononcuiation makes it difficult for him to be understood (he turned 3 in June).

We wanted to get the little guy to see someone ASAP to help him out - my wife saw that the American Hospital and Kids First MedicalCentre both have speech therapy facilities.

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated

Cheers

Thanks so much!

I will let my wife know and drop you a PM when we get home

Just an update - went to Kids First and they were outstanding.

Did the assessment and only needs a few sessions. They could have spun a lot of nonsense and said that he needed detailed ongoing assistance and we would have just paid.

Very impressed - thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks again (from my wife) for the recommendation.

I felt so sorry for him - my wife was saying that he would try and interact with other kids and walk up to them and say "hi guys" (picked up from me) but after a few minutes when they could not understand him, they would sort of shun him so he would then wander off to play by himself

He is a rela pistonheader in the making though - likes trains, cars, movies, gadgets, driving and 'adventures' --- ooh, let's drive 90mins to see a bird poo covered IL-76, grab a photo of car with said plane and leave. The treats for the drive probably helped!

Cheers
