Most parents of children with Speech Delay, Global Developmental Delay or Autism relay on private healthcare in Dubai. While the quality of Malayalam Speech Therapy is generally acceptable enough, it is cost that worries most parents. A single speech therapy session can cost as much AED 3501 (Rs 8,150), even in group setting. In some speech therapy centres, initial consultation are available at the rate starting from: 750 AED / 2×40 minutes and follow-up treatments are available at the same rate: 480 AED / 40 minutes. While the government has done much for children with developmental children, most parents simply find it difficult to shell out huge sums of money for Speech Therapy. Although this is less than what is charged in Australia and UK, it is still not affordable for many.
Another issue with a country like UAE is the diversity of the population. This becomes specially problematic for Speech Therapy, since getting a qualified Autism Speech Therapist who can also speak Malayalam to the child is pretty difficult.
Moreover, parents have to often travel for vast distance just to reach the therapy centres in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. All this for just one or two session per week. That is far enough for the child to develop their speech. This is why SheenaSpeech has now been opened to UAE.
Sheenaspeech is an online speech therapy aimed at Malayalam speakers from around the world. It provides you with accurate assessment of your child’s issues. It also provides you with structured speech therapy materials, with which you can do speech therapy activities at home itself. This customised program costs less than one third of the cost of speech therapy in UAE.
