Time to Talk speech and language therapy & Autism assessment
Highly recommended for effective communication improvement.
For families who know that speech matters, we provide autism assessment and personalised speech and language therapy.
My three children have been attending Ahlem for nearly two years. She is so professional and knowledgeable. We initially came to Time to Talk for an autism assessment, and my children have continued to benefit from ongoing speech and language therapy. Ahlem has great resources that keep them interested and engaged. My children’s speech has improved so much, going from unintelligible to nearly perfect. I recommend time to talk Clonmel, Ahlem and her clinic highly. She has had such a positive impact on my children.

I would highly recommend Ahlem and speech and language therapy in ireland. My son has been attending for over 2 years now. In Summer of last year, we wanted to have our son for Autism Assessment and contacted with timetotalkslt. I was aware that there were certain criteria needed in order to be accepted by the HSE and Department of Education.
We have been attending weekly sessions with Ahlem for over a year and her progress with my son has been amazing. When we first met Ahlem, my son was non-verbal. Thanks to her support, he is now talking and communicating much more effectively. We have both learnt a lot from Ahlem. She is so kind and has great toys to keep the kids interested. She is also CORU registered so I am able to claim back the majority of the cost through my health insurance and most importantly my son loves seeing her every week.
