Identifying the right speech therapist in Uganda can feel overwhelming for parents, especially when a child is severely struggling with communication disorder. While the country has seen steady growth in professional services, both in public institutions and private clinics, therapy services in Uganda continue to either be inaccessible to some or expensive for others. But beyond the accessibility and money lies an even harder question for many parents – How to choose the right therapist for your child. Speech Therapy Uganda looks at some of the key Qualities to Look for:

• Training and certification in speech-language pathology or related fields.

• Experience with children, since pediatric therapy requires patience and play-based approaches.

• Clear assessment methods to determine whether speech disorder is mild, moderate, or linked to other conditions.

• Good communication with parents, ensuring families are guided on how to support progress at home.
