Work / Developmental Therapy in Poland [19]

Hi there! I am an English speaker, and am considering moving to Warsaw for family reasons as my husband is being transferred there. I do not speak Polish, but am beginning to learn conversational Polish. I understand it will take time to get comfortable with it, but what is the scope of working with/supporting babies and children with developmental delays in Poland? (e.g. Autism, developmental delays and children with special educational needs). I am a healthcare professional, at a senior level, and hold specialised qualifications in paediatrics.

Thanks.

Work / Developmental Therapy in Poland [19]

Thanks for your responses @Atch @Mfatis @ pawaian @ Alian

I hold post graduate qualifications - my specific profession is regulated in different countries by medical regulatory bodies. Usually these are long, cumbersome processes and I have completed them in a few EU countries including the US. I will be trying to get in touch with the respective authority, and I do see language being an issue if clinical notes have to be written in Polish! I can see there certainly might be a need for such work in the private sector, past linguistic hurdles.

@ Atch, I am non Caucasian, and have used bare minimum make up in three decades (and more) my entire life, so what you say is interesting. I wonder if that varies across age groups?

Dziękuję i do zobaczenia!

Language / Polish Language Exchange Thread [141]

Hello there! I am going to be spending some time in Poland soon, and while I am slowly learning formally through virtual classes it would be great to have a language partner to reinforce my learning. In exchange, I can teach English. We can converse about art, psychology, daily life, travel (these are just some of my interests!). Even better if you are living in Warsaw.

@ Atch, :) Thank you - it is indeed good to know about these aspects of living and working there. We may cross paths in that case, and I would ofcourse be interested in knowing more about your teaching experience in an international primary school. If that is okay with you, we could connect off the thread. Slan.
