Neuro Integrative Therapy
Neurointegrative Therapy
Advancing Development Through Targeted Neuroplasticity
At The Speech Clinic Dubai, NeuroIntegrative Therapy is a cutting-edge intervention model developed by our founder, Ms. Sana Shareef , to support the neurological foundations of communication, movement, and regulation. Rooted in contemporary neuroscience, this approach harnesses the brain’s innate capacity for change — known as neuroplasticity — to drive meaningful therapeutic outcomes.
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, NeuroIntegrative Therapy works at the level of the brain-body connection. It integrates structured movement, sensory feedback, rhythmic timing, and targeted stimulation to enhance functional connectivity across key neural networks responsible for speech, language, motor planning, and cognitive engagement.
The approach draws from well-established principles in developmental neurobiology and brain-based learning , emphasizing the importance of activating under-responsive systems and synchronizing neural timing to unlock learning potential. By gently engaging the brain through multisensory pathways and repetition, this method encourages the formation of new, efficient neural circuits.
This therapy is ideal for children with motor speech challenges, sensory integration difficulties, developmental delays, or those who present with global processing differences. Each session is designed to be personalized, measurable, and neurologically driven — ensuring therapy is not only effective, but future-forward.
Who Is It For?
NeuroIntegrative Therapy is designed for children who require more than conventional therapy approaches — children whose brains benefit from deeper, targeted engagement across sensory, motor, and cognitive systems. It is especially effective for :
- Children with motor speech disorders such as Childhood Apraxia of Speech
- Neurodivergent learners including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD
- Children with global developmental delays or hypotonia
- Sensory integration and processing challenges
- Children with executive function difficulties,such as attention, planning, and regulation
- Late talkerswith underlying neurological inefficiencies
- Children not making expected progress through traditional therapy alone
Frequently Asked Questions
?What is Neuro-Integrative Therapy and how can it help my child?
Neuro-Integrative Therapy is a cutting-edge intervention model developed by our founder, Sana Shareef, to support the neurological foundations of communication, movement and regulation. Itʼs rooted in contemporary neuroscience and harnesses the brainʼs innate capacity for change (neuroplasticity) to drive meaningful outcomes. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, the approach works at the level of the brain-body connection — integrating structured movement, sensory feedback, rhythmic timing and targeted stimulation to enhance connectivity across neural networks responsible for speech, language, motor planning and cognitive engagement.
?What kinds of challenges or needs can be helped through Neuro- Integrative Therapy?
This therapy is effective for children with:
- • Motor speech disorders (e.g., Childhood Apraxia of Speech)
- • Neurodivergent profiles including Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD
- • Global developmental delays or hypotonia
- • Sensory integration and processing difficulties
- • Executive function challenges (attention, planning, regulation)
- • Late talkers with underlying neurological inefficiencies
?Can Neuro-Integrative Therapy be combined with other interventions?
Absolutely. It complements speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and behavioral programs (ABA). Integration ensures the brain receives coordinated sensory input, leading to more stable and faster development across all domains.
?Is this therapy backed by research?
Yes. Neuro-Integrative Therapy is grounded in:
- • Neuroplasticity research (Doidge, 2015)
- • Motor learning theory (Maas et al., 2008)
- • Sensory integration frameworks (Ayres, 1972)
- • Reflex and rhythmic movement integration (Blomberg & Dempsey, 2011)
- • Speech-motor control studies (Kent, 2015)
?How often will therapy happen and when will we see improvement?
FBecause this therapy is neurologically driven and tailored to deeper-level systems, the frequency and timeline will depend on your childʼs starting point. Some children may begin to show improved regulation, attention, motor planning or speech integration within a few weeks; other more complex cases may require longer-term support. Weʼll monitor outcomes carefully and adjust plans as your child progresses.
?Are parents and educators involved in the process?
Absolutely. We view parents and educators as essential partners. You will receive updates on goals, strategies to support carry-over at home and school, and opportunities to observe or ask questions. Teacher/therapist collaboration is often integrated for children who attend school, so intervention connects across settings.
?How do I get started and book a session?
Call +971-50-885 7146 or email info@thespeechclinic.ae to schedule an initial consultation and assessment.
Location: Dubai Healthcare City, Building 47, Units 301/302/303/304, Dubai, UAE
Hours: Monday to Saturday, 9 am – 7 pm
We will design a personalised plan using structured movement, sensory-motor integration, rhythmic tasks, and targeted stimulation to support neuroplasticity.
?Which children and age groups is this service designed for?
We provide Neuro-Integrative Therapy for children up to age 16. It is designed particularly for those who require more than conventional therapy — children whose brains benefit from deeper, neurologically-driven engagement.
?Who provides Neuro-Integrative Therapy?
Certified Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Physiotherapists trained in neuro-sensory and reflex integration frameworks deliver this therapy collaboratively. Interdisciplinary teamwork ensures holistic development.
?How is progress tracked?
Progress is tracked through:
- • Standardized neuro-motor and speech assessments
- • Reflex and sensory integration checklists
- • Video recordings of motor-speech sequences
- • Functional communication goals
- • Parent feedback on carryover
?What happens during my child’s first Neuro-Integrative Therapy session?
During the initial assessment and session our specialist team will:
- • Review your child's developmental, neurological, sensory, and motor history
- • Observe how your child moves, interacts, processes sensory input and uses
- • communication. Assess underlying neurological/motor/sensory networks (rather than just surface symptoms).
- • Set meaningful, measurable goals together with you — focused on brain-body links, not just task performance.
?Is the therapy environment appropriate and engaging?
Yes! Our sessions are designed to be child-friendly while engaging the nervous system in a safe and supportive way.We merge fun, movement, sensory tasks, rhythm and play to ensure your child remains motivated and comfortable, all within our Dubai clinic environment.
?How do I know if Neuro-Integrative Therapy might be right for my child? What signs should I look for?
You might consider this therapy if your child:
- • Has been receiving conventional therapy but progress has plateaued.
- • Struggles with coordination of movement, motor planning, or sequencing tasks.
- • Has significant sensory processing or integration difficulties.
- • Shows speech or language issues believed to be rooted in neural motor planning (e.g., apraxia).
- • Displays challenges in attention, regulation or executive functioning beyond “typical” developmental delays.
