Aisa Riley
Aisa is a British Speech and Language Therapist with 5 years of experience supporting neurodiverse children and young people across educational and clinical settings in both the UAE and the UK. Her career reflects a passionate commitment to inclusive communication and evidence-based intervention, with a particular clinical interest and expertise in speech sound disorders.
Trained in the UK and licensed by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), Aisa specialises in assessing and treating speech sound difficulties, including phonological delays, articulation errors, and motor speech disorders. She has extensive experience delivering targeted intervention across the hierarchy of speech sound development—from isolation to conversation level—and is adept at creating engaging, functional therapy plans tailored to each child’s unique profile.
In addition to her academic qualifications, Aisa has undertaken further professional training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCI), the Hanen Program, Intensive Interaction, and the Michael Palin Centre approach for children who stammer. She is also passionate about neurodiversity-affirming practice, with a special interest in gestalt language processors (GLPs) and dynamic AAC systems.
Aisa is trained in and confidently implements a range of AAC tools, including LAMP (Language Acquisition through Motor Planning) and Proloquo2Go. Her sessions are known for being child-led, playful, and responsive, fostering both communication growth and confidence.
