When to see a speech therapist?

Speech therapists manage communication and language disorders: speech delay, articulation disorders, stuttering, dys disorders (dyslexia, dysphasia, dyspraxia), swallowing difficulties or consequences of neurological conditions. In children, warning signs include:

• No words by 18-24 months, no sentences by 3.
• Speech hard to understand after 4.
• Stuttering established for more than 6 months.
• Persistent reading difficulties in primary school.

The care pathway

1. Initial assessment over one or two sessions, on medical prescription.
2. Written report: diagnosis, session frequency, goals.
3. Regular therapy: usually 1-2 sessions per week, with home exercises.
4. Reassessment every 6-12 months to adjust.

Costs and coverage in Morocco

Fees vary by city and practitioner. Part of the care can be covered by basic AMO, and more with AMO Tadamon if your child has the disability card. Always ask for a quote and named invoices.

Frequently asked questions

Is a prescription needed to see a speech therapist in Morocco?

The initial assessment is usually prescribed by a physician (pediatrician or GP), notably for AMO reimbursement. In practice you can contact a speech therapist directly, but keep the prescription for your file.

How much does a session cost?

Prices vary by city and sector (private practice or centre), typically tens to a hundred dirhams per session. Ask for a written quote; invoices in your name are required for reimbursement.

What to do while waiting for a slot?

Talk constantly with your child during daily activities, read every day, limit screens and follow their gaze to name what they observe. These stimulations prepare the ground and never replace sessions.
