Lebanese Arabic Speech Therapy Online for Families in Germany
Live one-to-one speech and language therapy in Lebanese Arabic, or in English, for Lebanese families in Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Essen and across Germany — delivered from Beirut in the dialect spoken at home.
Book Online SessionGermany's Lebanese community goes back to the civil war years and is concentrated in Berlin and the Rhine-Ruhr cities. German Logopädie is well-organised and largely covered by statutory insurance — but it is delivered in German, and Arabic-speaking Logopäden are rare enough that a Lebanese-speaking one is close to unobtainable. For a child whose German is still developing, being assessed and treated only in German carries a specific risk: limited German gets read as a language disorder, or a genuine difficulty hides behind conversational German that sounds fine.
How Sessions Work From Abroad
How this fits with German Logopädie
In Germany, speech therapy is normally prescribed by a physician on a Heilmittelverordnung and largely covered by statutory health insurance, delivered by a licensed Logopäde or Logopädin. Ghinwa is licensed and practising in Lebanon, is not a registered Logopädin in Germany, and these sessions are not covered by the Krankenkasse — they are private and paid directly. Where your child qualifies for prescribed therapy, take it; the Arabic-language work complements it rather than replacing it.
Why the first language is the one worth assessing
Children in German schooling typically shift to German dominance within two to three years of starting, and Arabic contracts to home and family. This creates a well-documented assessment problem: a bilingual child can look language-delayed in German while being entirely typical in Arabic, or can appear fine in conversational German while carrying a real disorder that shows only in their stronger language. A genuine language disorder appears in both. Assessing the Lebanese Arabic gives you the answer a German-language assessment structurally cannot.
Timing from Beirut
Germany runs one hour behind Beirut throughout the year. A 5pm session in Berlin is 6pm in Beirut, so weekday after-school appointments are entirely practical. Sessions run Monday to Saturday.
Paying from Germany
Session fees can be paid by card, or through Whish Money and OMT — the same channels Lebanese families in Germany already use to send money home, so there is no international bank transfer to arrange. Fees are private, not reimbursable by the Krankenkasse, and agreed in writing beforehand.
