Sheida Bavandi, 38 years old married with only one daughter. I obtained my Bachelor and Master ‘s degree in Speech and Language Pathology from the 1st grade university in Iran and I honoured to be the first ranked student. As a licensed speech and language pathologist in Iran and Dubai with about 14 years of experience in clinical and academic domains I have many experiences in screen, assessment, diagnosis and treatment children and adult suffering from speech, language, communication, literacy, voice, and swallowing disorders. I have a solid educational foundation which is getting updated each moment. So, I am so confident about what I do in my treatment sessions. Always I show empathy and sympathy with my clients and families and work not just as a therapist but as a mum who understands the children well and is aware of the concerns of a parent about their children and family.”
