A therapist who assesses precisely, sets clear goals and works with parents between sessions.

Licensing (DHA)

Speech and language therapists in clinical settings are licensed allied health professionals in Dubai. Therapists working in schools may follow a different regulator.

1
DataFlow (PSV): verification of degree, licence and experience.
2
DHA assessment: an exam or interview for the category, where required.
3
DHA licence: issued once the file and assessment are cleared.
4
Facility linking: the licence is activated under your clinic.

Bilingual therapists are rare, so for Russian or Arabic speakers we also search outside the UAE.
