About us

Our work began in August 2019

The Speak Up Neurodevelopment Clinic has been working since August 2019. In the months that followed, more than 500 cases have been treated, and many consultations and assessments carried out with paediatric, adult and geriatric patients.

At Speak Up Clinic it is our aim to help our patients meet their communication goals, by offering comprehensive assessments and treatment across every diagnosis.

Qualified staff, trained both in Albania and abroad in speech and language therapy and neurodevelopmental disorders, contribute at this clinic to reach the best possible potential for every patient.

We also believe in empowering parents and carers through collaboration and training — letting families take ownership of the results of therapy.

Our journey

With six years of experience behind us, Speak Up Clinic has treated more than 500 cases across a wide range of diagnoses. Our mission remains to help our clients meet their communication goals, through comprehensive assessment and committed treatment.

More about us

The clinical specialists working at Speak Up Clinic diagnose and treat every kind of communication difficulty — including speech delay, stammering, articulation, expressive language, receptive language, social communication and accent modification — at every age from paediatric to adult.

Every patient who comes to our clinic receives a specific assessment and a detailed intervention plan, which the therapists follow continuously, working carefully through every goal in the programme.

The type of therapy a patient needs is determined by the detailed one-week assessment at our centre. After ongoing testing, the intervention plan is set, along with the combination of therapies each case requires.

Our ABA therapists deliver this therapy for every child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
