Gazal Sayed , MSc. (Sweden)
Speech and Language Therapist (SLT)
Every child has the right to express with others what they think, feel and learn by talking, writing or using an alternative form of communication.
In my role as a speech and language therapist, I aim to contribute to your child’s independence and create a community of inclusivity with an unwavering passion to empower families and their children. Raised in the UAE and educated in Sweden, I am now back in the UAE to support you and your child’s everyday life to make it possible for your child to reach their potential as well as achieve academic success.
Following my Graduation from Lund University with a Master’s Degree in Speech and Language Pathology, I worked in a Habilitation Hospital in the South of Sweden with a multidisciplinary team. I worked with children across different age groups and included assessing and supporting children with speech and language delays, neurological disorders, Autism Spectrum disorder, Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, hearing impairment, and learning difficulties.
My passion is early intervention and inclusion of children with learning difficulties and developmental disorders within mainstream schools. Together with your family and child, we will create an intervention plan that is evidence-based, engaging and thoughtful to all the aspects of your family and child’s network.
