Hello Laura,
I am an American Egyptian OT currently living in Saudi. I was pleasantly surprised to find your blog during a random search. Although I have never lived in Egypt I am aware of the need for OT services there. I am looking forward to reading more here about the community there in Egypt.
On a slightly, I am curious if Egypt offers an Oral-Deaf approach to children who are deaf/ hearing impaired? Are there cochlear implant services, and what about newborn hearing screens?
My daughter has a CI, and I aspire to do something for children in Egypt one day for kids using my skills as an OT, but I am biased and hope I can assist children and their families who live with hearing loss. Any suggestions to think about?
May God reward you
Hello,
Glad that you found the blog! I spoke with my co-workers, speech and language therapists, and they said that cochlear implant surgeries are not done in Egypt. There are several children that our speech and language therapists work with that have implants, but they received them from abroad.
We are always looking for OT's to join our team here in Cairo, so if you are ever interested in working here please contact me at lme1169@gmail.com
Laura
