Neuro-Developmental Pediatrics
Departments
Every child’s journey of growth is unique and filled with discovery, learning, and milestones. While many progress seamlessly, some may face developmental challenges that affect their movement, cognition, communication, or social interactions.
At Child Development Center (CDC), we are committed to supporting children in overcoming these challenges through expert care in neuro-developmental pediatrics. Our neuro-developmental pediatricians in Dubai provide specialized assessments and tailored interventions to help children develop essential skills, build confidence, and thrive in their daily lives.
Our goal is to guide every child toward reaching their full potential—one step at a time.
Understanding Neuro-Developmental Pediatrics
Neuro-developmental pediatrics focuses on diagnosing, managing, and treating children with neuro-developmental and behavioral disorders.
These conditions typically emerge early in a child’s life and can impact their ability to function in areas such as social interaction, language, movement, and cognitive abilities.

Neuro-Developmental Pediatrics Assessment and Management Plan
At CDC, we offer thorough neuro-developmental assessments to understand and support your child’s development. The assessment process is typically conducted in sessions, with a follow-up session, where the findings and recommendations are discussed and a management plan is agreed upon.
Once a diagnosis is made, the management plan is developed to meet the specific needs of the child. The goal is to help the child develop and function optimally across all areas of life.
- Behavioral Therapy: To address issues related to behavior, social skills, and emotional regulation, children may undergo therapies like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This helps modify negative behaviors and build essential skills for socialization and daily activities.
- Speech and Language Therapy: Children who struggle with communication may benefit from individualized speech therapy to improve articulation, language comprehension, and social communication skills.
- Occupational Therapy: Occupational therapy focuses on improving fine motor skills, sensory processing, and activities of daily living (e.g., self-care skills). It helps children develop the necessary skills for independence.
- Social Skills Training: Children with social challenges, such as those with autism or ADHD, may receive targeted interventions to improve peer interactions, cooperation, and emotional intelligence.
- Monitoring and Adjustments: Our neuro-developmental pediatricians closely monitor the child’s response to medication and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal outcomes with minimal side effects.
