Our Services

Pediatric Physical Therapy

At High Hopes, the Physical Therapy (PT) Department is committed to supporting each child’s physical development and independence through evidence-based approaches. We work with children who experience difficulties with movement, balance, strength, or coordination due to a wide range of conditions, including- but not limited to- cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, brain injury, and genetic or developmental diagnoses. We also support children without a formal diagnosis who may still benefit from physical therapy.

Our PT team develops tailored therapy programs to promote mobility, confidence, and participation in everyday life. Collaboration with families is central to our approach, ensuring therapy plans reflect each child’s unique abilities, challenges, and goals.

Our team specializes in a variety of evidence-based practices such as Sensory Integration Therapy, Feeding Therapy for picky eaters, Assistive Technology, and more – optimising each child’s participation in daily life.

Our expert team supports communication development through verbal, non-verbal, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) methods, while also addressing feeding and swallowing challenges.

Applied Behavioral
Analysis-ABA Therapy

High Hopes offers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy in Dubai, an evidence-based approach that helps children—especially those with autism—develop communication, social, academic, and life skills. Led by qualified BCBAs, personalized programs aim to reduce challenging behaviors and foster positive, lasting change through structured, goal-oriented interventions tailored to each child’s needs.

Feeding Therapy

High Hopes offers specialized feeding therapy to help children with feeding challenges. Our approach includes oral motor exercises, sensory integration, and the use of different tools to improve muscle function, chewing, and swallowing. We provide personalized care for each child and support families to enhance their child’s feeding skills and overall quality of life.

Hydrotherapy

At High Hopes, we provide Aquatic Therapy in our purpose-built pool, using the water’s natural properties to support strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance. Working in water can reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote cardio-respiratory health.

Therapy sessions are personalised to each child, with goals from land-based therapy often integrated into the water for greater progress.

Families can access Aquatic Therapy in two ways:

  • Weekly sessions throughout the year, led by our Physical Therapy team.
  • Three-week intensive blocks, held twice a year with visiting specialists from Spain.

Sensory Integration Therapy

High Hopes offers Sensory Integration Therapy to help children process and respond to sensory information more effectively. Through individualized techniques, our therapists work to improve sensory processing, motor skills, and adaptive responses. This therapy enhances the child’s ability to manage sensory challenges, improve coordination, boost attention, and foster independence in daily activities, supporting overall well-being and development.
