Conditions<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before diving into the general concept of treating conditions that the client has it’s important for the caregiver to note that each client is unique, and therapy should be tailored to their specific needs and strengths. We collaborate with other healthcare professionals, educators, and families (caregivers), because this is vital to provide comprehensive support. Communication disorders can significantly impact individuals’ quality of life and thus should be treated or supported by a specialist. We do bilingual therapy, Luganda and English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the right you find a list of language disorders we specialize in, here we provide summarized information for caregivers. On our approach page you find extra information for caregivers and (in future) we provide video excersizes that parents can do at home. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
