Hello, I am Melisa Ummaz

In 2022, I completed my studies in speech therapy at Fontys Hogeschool in Eindhoven. During my studies, I gained valuable practical experience at Libra Rehabilitation & Audiologie, where I mainly examined children with language development delays. This experience strengthened my skills in dealing with and examining young children.

I also did an internship at Taalbrug College, a special secondary school for children with communicative and/or hearing impairments. These various internships have further confirmed my affinity with children and young people and increased my understanding of the different ways communication problems can manifest and be treated.

Patience is hugely important in making progress, and this is one of my strengths. I give children the space they need. Moreover, I can make targeted observations to create a good overall picture of my clients' needs. With more than 2.5 years of experience in an all-round practice, I have built up a broad expertise. I see online speech therapy as a great challenge and an opportunity to further develop and expand my skills within TinyEYE Europe's digital environment.
