Speech Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating. At Aspire, we believe communication can be nurtured through creativity, play, and confidence-building. That’s the philosophy behind Gobbledygook, a communication therapy programme developed by Micaela Graça, Strategic Director at AIS and a qualified Speech & Language Therapist.

About Gobbledygook

Born from a successful class in Dubai, Gobbledygook is now a tailored programme at Aspire, blending therapy and education to support children’s communication skills in a playful, meaningful way.

Micaela brings over a decade of international teaching and therapy experience, with expertise in Early Years, bilingual development, and supporting children with additional learning needs.
