Managed Therapy

A licensed therapist, properly managed.

ABA, speech and language, or occupational therapy, at home or at school. Sessions from AED 275 an hour.

How it works

The Managed Therapy model, step by step.

  1. Step 1

    Register

    Pay AED 499 to start your search — tell us about your child and what you need.

  2. Step 2

    We assess & match

    Our clinical team reviews your child's needs and shortlists therapists across the right discipline — ABA, speech & language, occupational therapy or early intervention.

  3. Step 3

    Meet your therapist

    We introduce a matched, licensed therapist — school or home-based, your choice.

  4. Step 4

    Ongoing sessions

    Once you confirm, sessions are billed from AED 275/hour depending on the discipline and your child's plan, supervised throughout.

Why families choose this

Never freelance. Never unsupervised.

  • Licensed & supervised

    ABA is BCBA-supervised; speech & language, occupational therapy and early intervention are delivered by licensed therapists in their discipline — never freelance or unsupervised.

  • School or home sessions

    Whichever setting fits your child and your school's requirements — or both.

  • Assessment-led matching

    We match based on your child's actual needs and the right therapy discipline, not whoever happens to be available first.

  • Real, ongoing oversight

    Progress is reviewed and adjusted over time — never matched and left alone.

Who this is for

Matched to your child's needs.

We match therapists across the full range of needs we support — an assessment first decides the right discipline, never a generic package.

Frequently asked

Questions families ask.

What does the AED 499 registration fee cover?
It starts your child's search — our clinical team reviews your situation, identifies the right therapy discipline, shortlists licensed therapists, and introduces a matched candidate to your family.
Is the AED 499 refundable?
It's non-refundable once paid, since it covers the clinical time spent on your search and match, whether or not you proceed to sessions.
How much do ongoing sessions cost?
Sessions start from AED 275/hour. The exact rate depends on the therapy discipline, your child's plan, and the matched therapist's qualifications — we'll always confirm the rate with you before sessions begin.
Is the hourly rate an automatic subscription?
No — sessions are billed per hour once your therapist is matched and sessions begin, not an automatic recurring charge.
How long does it take to find a match?
It varies by discipline and location, but most families hear from us within a couple of weeks of registering.
Can I choose between school and home sessions?
Yes — tell us your preference when you register, and we'll match accordingly.
Which conditions can this cover?
We match therapists for the full range of needs we support — including autism, ADHD, learning differences, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, speech delay and sensory processing. Tell us about your child and we'll recommend the right discipline.
What if I'm not happy with the therapist you introduce?
We'll work with you to find a better match — the goal is a fit that actually works for your child, not just filling a slot.
