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.
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.
I love children. That's why I really enjoy working with this target group. But I also have a good click with adults. A cheerful character with a large dose of patience and great empathy are qualities I am known for.
I enjoy doing speech therapy and it was a conscious choice for me when I started training. I have been a speech therapist since 2011 and in 2016 I became a stutter therapist. Because I love little ones so much, I am now immersing myself in preverbal speech therapy.
I have taught, I have trained, I have led the Suriname Speech Therapy Association, I have done international projects and I have treated individually
and in groups.
I enjoy initiating new developments and I like new challenges. Online therapy offers many opportunities and at TinyEYE I get the chance to explore those possibilities. I like to set the bar high and go for the best results. For you too!
I am a speech therapist living and working in Suriname.
As a speech therapist, I have experience treating both children and adults with communication problems.
I am energised by people with aphasia and/or speech apraxia being able to communicate again with their loved ones through speech therapy. As much as possible, the speech therapy support is functional in nature, so that communication with family and friends in daily life becomes possible again.
Besides adults, I also have a good click with children. I mainly work with children on the autism spectrum and children who need speech therapy after a CI adaptation.
Online speech therapy is no stranger to me. I work with it every day and I look forward to welcoming you to TinyEYE's treatment room soon.
Communicating is a right for everyone to be able to connect with others around you. And eating and drinking are often linked to socialising. When this is not (or no longer) obvious, it has an impact on both the person themselves and the environment around them.
As a speech therapist, I get satisfaction from providing help in this regard. My strong language skills and the energy I get from working with people make my profession my passion. In addition, it is my personal mission to improve the quality of life (again, to some extent) by offering support for various speech therapy problems.
After graduating in 2018, I worked in (paediatric) rehabilitation for 5 years. As a result, I gained a lot of experience treating diverse diagnostic groups, in both children and adults, from a multidisciplinary team setting.
For example, I have treated many adults with neurological language-speech and swallowing problems. In addition, I have had the opportunity to accompany many (young) children and parents with various eating-drinking problems and communication problems (from an articulation disorder to communicating through Supported Communication).
I therefore enjoy working with both young and old.
My passion for this work, the mission I have in doing so, and the experience I have gained make me work with you in an understanding, enthusiastic and energetic way.
I therefore look forward to meeting you and achieving your (speech therapy) goals together!
Hello, my name is Emma van der Wel. I work as an independent speech therapist at TinyEYE. During my studies at the Hogeschool Rotterdam, I had the opportunity to gain a lot of experience working with people with aphasia. I am therefore very interested in the neurological side of speech therapy. I also followed the minor in multilingualism where I learned a lot about multilingualism in different target groups. I strongly believe in the importance of a personal approach and like to explore innovations in this field. For example, I have done research into making the cultural sector communicatively accessible.
I look forward to starting the journey with you towards better communication and well-being. Do not hesitate to contact me. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals!
I am Elise Valkenburg, an enthusiastic and driven speech therapist with a passion for communication and helping others. As a speech therapist, I find it important to approach treatment in a playful way so that your child works towards better communication in an enjoyable way. I enjoy taking on new challenges and constantly keep developing myself to provide the best care. My character is open, friendly and empathetic, leading to a pleasant collaboration with children, clients and parents alike. I have experience in treating both children and adults in various settings. I have worked in practices, nursing homes, rehabilitation care, as well as disability care. Always, I have combined working with children and adults. "Within my speech therapy treatment, I listen carefully to the client's wishes and we work together in a pleasant and effective way towards the final goal." Online speech therapy is the future! It offers parents and clients the flexibility to receive speech therapy wherever they want. Will you take up this challenge with me?
My name is Beyza and I am a speech therapist with experience in both online and physical treatments within practices and (special) primary education. In my work, the child is always central. Every child has their own pace, interests and needs, and I carefully tailor my treatments accordingly.
What drives me is the moment when a child dares to speak with more self-confidence, suddenly pronounces a difficult word correctly or proudly tells something that he or she couldn't before. Such small and big successes make this work very valuable to me.
In addition to my work at TinyEYE, I also work as an independent speech therapist in education and am registered in the Paramedics Quality Register. I am DTL-certified, which means that your child can come to me without a referral from the GP.
Wondering what I can do for your child? Feel free to contact me or visit my website for more information. I would love to help your child progress in his or her communicative development!
What I find very important in my treatments is that the client takes ownership of the (learning) process and that there can be fun in learning something. I do this by having an equal attitude. I think (out loud) with them and we see together what fits best.
I like to describe my approach as a helicopter view. I look at the client as a person in the broadest sense, like a helicopter in the sky, and I am curious about what a child or adult needs to achieve the goal. In doing so, I also use my experiences and theoretical knowledge to make the treatment as successful as possible.
From my training days, I had internships with the target groups children to adults within rehabilitation after brain injury, for example. In my work experience time, a few more target groups I enjoy working with were added, such as breathing, voice and lung covid (persistent symptoms after covid). It excites me when I can work with different target groups.
I would like to share below an overview of the areas for which you can engage me.
Children:
- Pronunciation of sounds and articulation.
- Oromyofunctional therapy (oral motor skills and deviant oral habits).
- Language delay and language development disorders (TOS).
Adults:
- Speech and language disorders due to brain injury.
- Breathing & voice.
- Lung covid.
- Learning a (Dutch) accent.
- Regular improvement of speech (think too high a speaking rate or inner-mouth
articulation).
- Speaking in education and business with a powerful voice.
