Our first 15 years
In 2008, Gonçalo Leal, Speech and Language Therapist, brought together a group of young graduates and researchers to establish Speechcare. Envisioning a person centered approach, integrating the community, the family, and relevant communicative partners, focusing on modern and tecnological approaches.
Progressively, Speechcare has also become a widely sought-after training center focused on upskilling SLT and meeting the needs of families.

It is rewarding to look at what has been achieved thus far, both in scope and in-depth: from a one-room office, Speechcare has grown to include 34 speech and language therapists spread across 8 countries and 4 continents, providing sessions in 5 clinics, 23 nurseries, kindergartens, and schools, as well as remotely.
