About Me
Hi there! I’m Wissam (Sam) Chidiak, a speech and language therapist with over 23 years of experience.
I graduated in the year 2000 and and have been helping children improve their communication skills ever since.
As a trilingual speaker, I offer speech and language therapy sessions in English, French, and Arabic..
I lived and worked in Beirut until 2020, but decided to leave after some very bad people destroyed my city.
Now, I call Lagos, Nigeria home, and I work at Pink and Blue Nursery and the American International School of Lagos (AISL).
I also offer consultations at Lycée Français Louis Pasteur de Lagos (LFLP).
I have my own office in Funville, Akin Adesola Street. I picked Funville, because the whole fun atmosphere, makes it the perfect place to conduct play-based speech therapy.
I believe that children learn best when they’re having fun, and that’s what I aim to bring to every session.
Lately, my experience in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorder has been enriched by my certification as an Ados-2 practitioner from University College London (UCL).
Helping children improve their communication skills and reach their full potential while having fun is my passion, and it’s what makes me jump out of bed in the morning (even on Monday mornings!)
“About Sam, Lilly and the gang”
In addition to speech and language therapy, I have a passion for creating educational games and incorporating my own fun visuals into them.
I’ve created a whole cast of characters, including Sam, Lilly, Ela, Chidi, Nay, and Jadu, and feature them in multiple free PowerPoint games available on Teachers Pay Teachers, as well as a variety of free and paid decks on Boom Learning.
I also conduct game creation workshops where I teach others how to create educational games using PowerPoint for therapy.
My goal is to help speech therapists and educators create fun and engaging materials for their work with children, and to spread the joy of learning through games.
I’m always on the lookout for new and creative ways to make learning and communication fun and accessible for children of all ages. That’s why I’m currently working on a few educational games for the AppStore that will feature my beloved characters. So, watch this space!
