My TinyEYE
Dutch
Online speech therapy

I am entrepreneurial, enthusiastic, creative, patient, inquisitive and people-oriented. I enjoy working together with the client to come up with a treatment plan/solution for you as a unique person. You or your child is not a number with me, but I make a treatment plan together with you that suits you best and that you feel comfortable with.
I have all-round speech therapy knowledge. I work with children, adults and the elderly. I have experience in the areas of language (language comprehension, sentence structure, vocabulary, language use and language problems, also after brain injury (aphasia)), speech and fluency (delayed speech development, verbal apraxia, facial paralysis, slurring, fluency problems), hearing (problems with auditory functions, problems with reading/spelling due to auditory difficulties and language problems, counselling of hearing-impaired and deaf people), communication (children with language and speech problems combined with autism and/or intellectual disabilities/sensory information processing problems, giving advice on alternative communication) and oral-motor problems (treating children who suck thumbs/wrong tongue positioning/open mouth behaviour, eating and swallowing problems after brain injury, general eating and drinking problems in children, adults and the elderly).

I provide speech and language therapy in both Dutch and English. I myself lived in San Diego (USA) for five years with my family as an expat, so I have first-hand experience of what it is like to live as a ‘foreigner’ in another country.

I also accompany expats. I teach them the Dutch language and support them where necessary to become familiar with Dutch culture. I also give speech therapy to Dutch expats. I know from experience that it can sometimes be difficult to find a Dutch speech therapist abroad for yourself or for your children. Then online speech therapy with a Dutch speech therapist is very convenient and nice!

I hope to see you soon in my digital practice!

Lisans eğitimimi 2020 yılında İstanbul Medipol Üniversitesi'nde tamamlamış olup eğitimim boyunca çeşitli terapileri gözlemledim ve stajyer terapist olarak afazi terapisi başta olmak üzere, sesletim, gecikmiş konuşma, kekemelik terapileri üzerine onlarca seans gerçekleştirdim. Şu an aktif olarak İstanbul'da bir özel eğitim merkezinde çeşitli profillerde danışan kabul etmekteyim. Gelişimsel gerilik, otizm, okul çağı öncesi kekemelik, okul çağı kekemelik, ergen ve yetişkin kekemelik, afazi, fonolojik bozukluklar, konuşma sesi bozuklukları, gecikmiş konuşma, ses bozuklukları, motor konuşma bozuklukları alanlarında her yaştan vaka grubuyla çalışmaktayım. Değerlendirmelerimde SST, TEDİL, ADD gibi standardize testlere yer vermeyi ve terapilerimde kanıta dayalı uygulamalardan yararlanmayı önemsiyorum. Bir Floortime-201 terapisti olmakla birlikte alandaki çeşitli yaklaşımlar hakkında sürekli kendimi güncel tutmaya çalışıyorum. Aynı zamanda İstanbul Medipol Üniversitesi'nde yüksek lisans kapsamında afazili bireylerde rTMS uygulamalarına yönelik olarak araştırma yürütmekteyim. Şimdi TinyEYE da sizlerle online terapiler gerçekleştirmek için buradayım:)

Çocuklarla bir arada olmayı, etkileşimde olmayı çok seven; aynı zamanda bir erkek çocuğuna da sahip bir dil-konuşma bozuklukları uzmanıyım. Anne kimliğim; hem normal çocuk gelişim süreçlerini birebir tecrübe etmemi hem de aile boyutunda çocukla sağlıklı etkileşim ve iletişimin nasıl kurulabileceğini tecrübe ederek öğrenmemi sağladı. Bu edindiğim ve halen edinmeye devam ettiğim annelik tecrübesi; özellikle dil-konuşma sorunu yaşayan çocuklarla ve aileleriyle, mesleki olarak çok yönlü ve daha verimli çalışmama çok büyük katkı sağladı.

2016 yılından itibaren alanda aktif olarak çalışıp danışan kabul etmekteyim. Aynı zamanda Ankara Üniversitesi Odyoloji ve Konuşma Bozuklukları doktora programında eğitimime devam etmekteyim. Okuma becerileri açısından risk altında olan erken çocukluk dönemindeki çocukların ve özgül öğrenme güçlüğü olan çocukların fonolojik işlemleme süreçleriyle yakından ilgilenmekteyim. Doktora tez çalışmamı ve yürüttüğüm diğer çalışmaları da bu alan üzerinden yapmaktayım. Alanda aktif olarak çalıştığım ve halen çalışmaya devam ettiğim bu 8 yıllık süreç içinde ağırlıklı olarak konuşma sesi bozuklukları ve gelişimsel dil bozuklukları olmak üzere çok çeşitli alanlarda tanıları olan (özgül öğrenme güçlüğü, artikülasyon problemleri, phonolojik problemler, akıcı konuşma bozuklukları,yarık dudak-damak, apraksi, afazi) danışanlarla çalışma şansı elde ettim.

Öğrenmek süreklidir ilkesiyle mezun olduğum andan itibaren çeşitli eğitimlere de katılarak alanda kendimi geliştirmeye devam etmekteyim. Katıldığım bazı eğitim ve sertifikalar:

Şu anda hem bir özel eğitim ve rehabilitasyon merkezinde hem de doktora kapsamında Ankara Üniversitesi İbni Sina Araştırma hastanesinde danışan almaktayım. TinyEYE Europe sayesinde artık mesafeler sorun olmadan online terapi ile her yerden danışanlara hizmet vererek bilgilerimi ve tecrübelerimi paylaşma şansı elde ettiğim için çok şanslıyım.

I am a Specialist Language and Speech Therapist. I love my profession because it gives me the opportunity to touch people's lifes and create miracles. I try to help all individuals from childhood to adulthood with their communication, language and speech problems.

In 2017, I graduated from Istanbul Aydın University, Department of Psychology with a high honours degree. I started working as a Psychologist at Bursa Romatem Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital. During the time I worked at the hospital, I saw that many of the patients who had a stroke had speech and communication difficulties. I have observed that this situation affects people's lifes and treatment processes negatively. For this reason, I decided to pursue a master's degree in Language and Speech Therapy.

In 2021, I graduated from Üsküdar University, Department of Language and Speech Therapy with a high honours degree. During my education process, I attended many trainings related to my profession. I received supervision from experienced teachers in our profession. I have the ability to apply objective tests, projective tests and neuropsychological tests in line with the training I have received. I am a DIR Floortime Therapist and Experiential Play Therapist.

I have worked with children with various language and speech problems from early childhood to school age. I also had the opportunity to work with adults who have speech difficulties due to traumatic brain injury, stroke and neurological diseases. I am currently serving my clients in a private clinic in Bursa.

TinyEYE provides therapy to children and adults all over the world with the accessibility and comfort provided by digitalisation. I am very happy to be part of the TinyEYE Europe team.

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.

I am a German speech therapist, living in Canada. I moved to Atlantic Canada because of my partner but also because I could always picture myself living abroad and making new experiences in life.

In 2021, I completed my training-integrated Bachelor's degree at the SRH University of Applied Sciences for Health on the Heidelberg campus-and have been a passionate speech therapist ever since. I work with people of all ages and enjoy my varied and exciting job every day!

I have primarily worked in speech therapy practices and in hospitals, mainly on the stroke unit and in early rehabilitation, in Germany and in Canada. Throughout my time working in different settings in Canada, having worked as part of an early supported stroke discharge team and as a research assistant, working closely together with many speech therapists and an interdisciplinary team, I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. For the most part, I've treated Dysphagia, Aphasia, Apraxia of speech and Dysarthria. I also worked in the treatment of specific language impairments (SLI) and developmental speech and language disorders (DLD).

Teletherapy at Tinyeye allows me to pursue my passion and provide you, or your child, with the speech therapy treatment you need, no matter where we are! Having started to learn and speak English when I was 4-year-old and now having lived and worked in Canada, I am confident to give therapy not only in German but also in English.

I am happy about the opportunity to offer speech therapy with more flexibility and make it reachable for all online!

I look forward to meeting you or your child!

Für das Fördern und Erreichen einer selbstbestimmten Teilhabe am sozialen Leben sind eine akkurate Diagnostik wie auch eine effiziente Therapie entwicklungsbedingter und erworbener Sprach-, Sprech-, Stimm- und Schluckstörungen unabdingbar. Mehrsprachigkeit nimmt eine zunehmend größere Rolle im beruflichen Alltag von uns Logopäden und akademischen Sprachtherapeuten ein und darf nicht außer Acht gelassen werden. Aufgrund meiner eigenen Mehrsprachigkeit (deutsch/polnisch) und die meiner beiden Kinder weiß ich, dass die sprachlichen Kompetenzen bilingualer Kinder und Erwachsener mit einem genaueren Blick betrachtet werden müssen.

Im Jahr 2016 beendete ich mein Masterstudium Klinische Linguistik an der Philipps-Universität Marburg. Seitdem habe ich mehrere Jahre in einer neurologischen Rehabilitationsklinik gearbeitet. Dort konnte ich umfassende Erfahrungen hinsichtlich der Diagnostik und Therapie neurologischer Krankheitsbilder (u.a. Schlaganfall, Multiple Sklerose, Morbus Parkinson oder ALS) sammeln. Des Weiteren verfüge ich über solide Erfahrungen in der Arbeit mit Kindern. Eine Zeit lang habe ich auch mit Kindern mit geistiger Behinderung gearbeitet.

Ich bin ein wissbegieriger und zielstrebiger Mensch, der einen emphatischen Umgang mit seinen Patienten schätzt. Das gemeinsame Erfassen und Erreichen eines therapeutischen Ziels mit Ihnen und/oder Ihrem Kind ist für mich unabdingbar.

Die Arbeit bei TinyEye erweitert meinen therapeutischen Horizontischen und ermöglicht die Therapie über Grenzen hinweg.

Ich therapiere in deutscher und polnischer Sprache.

Ich freue mich auf die Zusammenarbeit mit Ihnen und/oder Ihrem Kind!

Hello, I am Irem Dubus,

Currently, I am working for TinyEYE Europe. Here, I provide online therapy service in Turkish and Dutch.

My experience includes (multilingual) children with language and speech problems. I also have a lot of experience with adults regarding voice complaints and breathing problems such as hoarseness, hyperventilation or covid rehabilitation.

I am cheerful and empathetic. I get a lot of energy from working with different people. In doing so, the progress my clients make gives me satisfaction. Every person is different and therefore every client deserves a matching treatment for the specific problems they experience. This makes my treatments flexible and creative. During treatment, the client is central and contact with others involved is also very important. Together, we strive to achieve goals.

Children experiencing difficulties in language and/or speech can cause many obstacles at school and in everyday life. Therefore, it is nice as a healthcare professional to support children in this regard. I have been able to help children mainly with their language and speech skills and abnormal oral habits. It is great to see the growth children make in their development and how much this can mean for parents.

In practice, I find that multilingualism in speech therapy remains a grey area. This inspired me to take the minor in multilingualism during my studies. I myself was raised multilingual and speak Berber and Arabic (Moroccan dialect) in addition to Dutch and English.

Communication binds people together and makes this an indispensable part of society. This makes speech therapy treatments very necessary for many children. Digital speech therapy forms the bridge for accessible therapy for every child and also gives a chance to the children who are on the waiting list for a long time.
