You don’t know what you don’t know: The benefits of considering EP professionals as part of the wider system
in strategy development

elays in language and communication development can be attributed to many factors which manifest differently depending
on the context that a child finds himself/herself in. These contexts become more complex in countries that are bilingual and/
or multilingual with cultural elements that may not be universally unique. However, the culmination of these factors in one context
lends themselves to more personalized strategies that are more likely realized through similar consultation methods of comparing
and contrasting, and giving attention to the exception to the rules. This strategy needs to extend to the macro system, which includes
professionals and their traditional methods of training, as is common practice in the medical residency placements.
Biography
Nuhaila Al-Rawahi has come full circle in her recent return to Oman. The lack of special needs provision in schools twenty years ago has driven her to pursue
the educational psychology profession. Dr. Nuhaila Al- Rawahi completed her Doctorate in Educational, Child and Community Psychology from the University of
Exeter (U.K) in 2011. She has one publication, her thesis; ‘Effective Emotional Literacy Programmes: Teacher’s Perceptions'.Nuhaila is currently working as an
independent practitioner in Muscat. Although she is arguably in the early stages of her career, her experience in various local authorities in the U.K has allowed her
to identify a novel strategy that has the potential of raising the language and communication standards in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
