Speech Therapy in Dubai
At Shine Child Development Center, we understand that communication is the foundation of a child’s learning, confidence, and relationships. Our speech therapy in Dubai helps children of all ages improve speech clarity, build language skills, and develop meaningful connections. With personalized support from licensed speech-language pathologists, we make communication feel natural and empowering for every child.
Every journey begins with listening. Our speech therapists meet with families to discuss concerns, review milestones, and identify specific areas of need. This helps us create a therapy plan that is personalized to your child.
We conduct comprehensive speech and language assessments to evaluate:
Clarity of speech and pronunciation.
Vocabulary and sentence structure.
Understanding and use of language.
Social communication and interaction.
Oral-motor skills related to speech and feeding.
These assessments guide our therapy approach and ensure progress is measurable and effective.
Our therapy sessions are play-based, engaging, and focused on practical outcomes. We support children in:
Improving pronunciation and fluency.
Building vocabulary and expressive language.
Strengthening comprehension and communication skills.
Developing social communication and conversation skills.
For children facing oral-motor challenges, we provide gentle therapy to support:
Chewing and swallowing skills.
Oral coordination for safe and effective feeding.
Confidence and comfort at mealtimes.
Parents are an essential part of speech therapy. We provide:
Practical tips and strategies for home.
Parent training and workshops.
Daily routines that encourage language-rich interaction.
Our Speech and Language Therapist (SALT) uses standardized tools to evaluate language understanding, expression, oral motor skills, and communication needs:
- PLS-5 (Preschool Language Scale – 5th Edition): Assesses receptive and expressive language skills in children from birth to 7 years.
- OPT (Oral Placement Therapy) Tools: Evaluates and supports oral motor skills for speech clarity and feeding.

What Parents in Dubai Say
Posted on Google Dr Raghida AchkarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ProfessionalismPosted on Google Aalia ThobaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a professional who regularly works with families navigating developmental concerns, I have had the pleasure of referring several of my clients to Dr. Haneesha at Shine Child Development Center, and the feedback has been consistently outstanding. She brings a rare combination of clinical rigor and genuine warmth to her practice that is not always easy to find. What I appreciate most as a referring provider is how grounded and thorough her assessments are. Her recommendations are always well-reasoned, evidence-based, and tailored to the specific needs of the child and family in front of her, never a one-size-fits-all approach. Families consistently tell me how comfortable and understood they felt in her care, which speaks to her exceptional ability to build rapport, even in situations that are emotionally difficult for parents. Just as importantly, she has built a strong, capable team around her. The continuity of care and quality of therapeutic intervention families receive at Shine Child Development Center reflect well on the entire practice, not just Dr. Haneesha individually. I confidently refer families to Dr. Haneesha and her team, knowing they will receive compassionate, competent, and well-coordinated care. Want me to adjust this for a specific referring role (e.g., pediatrician, speech-language pathologist, school psychologist) to make it feel even more authentic?Posted on Google Monisha JalalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I consulted with Dr. Haneesha three months ago regarding my son, who is 2 years and 6 months old. From the initial assessment and feedback, Dr. Haneesha clearly explained the recommended, structured therapies and put me at ease that we were in the right place. Following the assessment, my son began ABA and OT for two months, and later started speech therapy. Each therapy was delivered in a structured, goal-oriented manner.Over the course of treatment I observed meaningful improvements in my son’s routines and daily activities. He has made notable progress in responding to his name, maintaining eye contact, and communicating his basic needs. The team was supportive and attentive. I am grateful to Ms. Patricia (ABA therapist), Ms. Lakshmi (occupational therapist), and Ms. Sowmiya (speech therapist) for their consistent guidance and unconditional support. Their coordinated approach contributed significantly to my son’s progress. I highly recommend Dr. Haneesha and the Shine CDC team to families seeking structured, multidisciplinary early intervention for young children.Posted on Google Gamze YılmazerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
