Hello, I am Rixt Jaspers

In 2000, I graduated as a speech therapist from the Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen. After some observations, I joined Basalt Rehabilitation in The Hague in 2002. From 2002 to 2023, I worked both clinically and outpatiently in several treatment teams.

To further deepen my knowledge in examining and treating adults with Neurological disorders, I attended the Neurological Language and Speech Disorders (NTSS) course at Erasmus University in Rotterdam from 2004-2006 and the Postgraduate Dysphagia course at Artevelde Hogeschool in Ghent from 2015-2017. Over the years, I have attended continuous refresher and postgraduate courses to stay as up to date as possible in the field of speech therapy.

I have extensive experience in neurological syndromes: non-congenital brain injury (NAH), Cerebro Vascular Accident (CVA), Neuromuscular Disorders (NMAs), Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Oncology and speech therapy disorders after Covid.

Since August 2022, I have lived in the mountains in Austria with my husband and two sons. In winter we like to ski and in summer we regularly go out hiking, swimming mountain biking and golfing.

To work as a Dutch-speaking speech therapist from abroad, I offer online Speech Therapy. Besides Dutch, I also speak German and English. I am a member of the NVLF (Dutch Association for Speech Therapy and Phoniatrics) and am registered in the Paramedics Quality Register.

I look forward to a great collaboration.
