Dr. Sara trained in Paediatrics across the UK and Singapore and holds membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (UK). In the UAE, she has developed a respected practice through years at Latifa Hospital, Dubai’s government tertiary paediatric centre, and in private clinical settings.

Dr. Sara conducts detailed developmental assessments for a wide range of presentations, including:

• Suspected Autism
• Children with known genetic syndromes
• Suspected ADHD
• Global developmental delay
• Attention difficulties and hyperactivity
• Difficulties with peer interaction
• Isolated speech delay

At the heart of her practice is a firm belief that every child must be understood within the interlinking contexts of family, school, and biology. She works closely not only with children and their parents, but also with educators and allied health professionals, to build coherent, consistent support around each child. She is deeply committed to empowering families with the knowledge and strategies to maximise their child’s development and wellbeing.
