Speech Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in Dubai by Dr. Azizreza Ghasemzadeh – Over 20 Years of Experience

Understanding Multiple Sclerosis and Speech

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. As a result, it can lead to a variety of communication and swallowing difficulties. Some people with MS experience changes in their voice, slurred speech, or problems with word-finding. Others may develop swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) that impact their safety and nutrition.

How MS Affects Speech and Swallowing

Because MS damages the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibers, it disrupts the signals between the brain and muscles. This can cause:

• Slurred or slow speech (dysarthria)

• Weak voice or changes in pitch (dysphonia)

• Difficulty controlling breathing for speech

• Swallowing problems (dysphagia)

• Word-finding and language difficulties

Moreover, these symptoms can fluctuate, making day-to-day communication unpredictable.

Speech Therapy for MS in Dubai

Fortunately, specialized speech therapy can help manage and improve these symptoms. At our Dubai clinic, Dr. Azizreza Ghasemzadeh provides individualized therapy for MS patients to improve clarity, voice strength, and swallowing safety.

Therapy may include:

• Breathing and voice exercises

• Strategies for clear articulation

• Energy conservation techniques for speaking

• Swallowing safety training

• Cognitive-linguistic activities for language support

Our Treatment Approach

Because every MS journey is different, therapy plans are tailored to the individual’s needs. In addition, family education is an essential part of treatment, ensuring that support continues at home.

Multilingual, Culturally Sensitive Care

Our clinic offers therapy in English, Arabic, and Persian, meeting the needs of Dubai’s diverse community. Sessions are available at Armada Medical Centre and, if needed, through our ShadowNest in-school support program.
