The Team
Alicia Bock, Practice Owner
Alicia Bock, owner of Speech Therapy at Home, is a registered speech therapist, with a heart for helping clients experience inclusivity and live with dignity regardless of their diagnosis.
She completed her undergraduate studies B.Sc. (Speech Language Pathology) at the University of Cape Town in 2005. She proceeded to complete postgraduate studies at the University of Pretoria, namely the Advanced Diploma in Hearing Aid Acoustics (cum laude) in 2008, and later a Masters in Early Childhood Intervention in 2014.
Alicia has vast experience in working with both children and adults in the public and private sector for several years. Her passion lies within the rehabilitation health sector, however her skills benefit school-aged children, as well as serving families with children in their early development (aged zero to five). Her aim is to ensure functional development and life participation for all her clients, with family members and caregivers counted as key role players in the success of therapy.
Zayán Sirkhotte, Therapist
Since completing her undergraduate degree (B.Sc. Speech Language Pathology) at the University of Cape Town in 2010, Zayán Sirkhotte has worked in schools and hospitals in the public and private sector.
In recent years, her focus has been on the school-based client, with a passion for integrating play and play based learning into therapy. However, she has experience with both the adult and paediatric population, including those with severe to profound intellectual disabilities. She believes in a holistic family and client centered approach and her main aim is to incorporate inclusive practices which will allow optimum participation and functionality for her clients.
Aqeelah Adams, Therapist
Aqeelah is a registered speech therapist who was drawn to the profession by a passion for ensuring all individuals have the right to optimum quality of life – which is directly impacted by the ability to effectively communicate and eat safely.
Since completing her BSc in Speech-Language Pathology in 2017 (with distinction), she has worked mostly in the public sector. Her time at district hospital and clinical level has afforded her the opportunity to gain experience in engaging with many different diagnoses, including ASD, CP and ADHD, as well as post-CVA and TBI rehabilitation.
Regardless of the diagnoses and difficulties experienced, her passion is to ensure that care is individualized to the specific needs, interests, and environments of clients.
Tyra Gideon, Therapist
Tyra Gideon graduated with a BSc in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Cape Town in 2018. She has since worked at care facilities and hospitals in both the private and public sector.
She has worked with the paediatric population, gaining valuable experience in managing severe physical and intellectual disabilities. Although Tyra enjoys working with children, her true passion lies with adults. She has recently completed a globally recognized accreditation (LSVT Global) to deliver a very specialised therapy programme for clients with Parkinson's Disease. Tyra finds working with adults highly fulfilling because of the one-on-one rapport that can be built and the reward of seeing clients progressing under her care. Her love for rehabilitation exercised on a daily basis keeps her motivated and passionate.
