Neurodevelopment Assessment

At ProPaeds, we believe in development review/monitoring at every visit, ensuring early referral if necessary. This involves a meticulous evaluation of the child’s brain development, scrutinising neurological pathways that influence various facets of performance and functioning. These include but are not limited to intellectual functioning, reading ability, social skills, memory, and attention or focus skills.

School Assessments and Evaluations, with a Focus on ADHD

Our expertise extends to addressing behavioural and scholastic concerns that may have been observed by either parents or teachers. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), recognised as a medical condition, manifests in challenges related to attention, the ability to sit still, and self-control. ADHD can impact a child’s academic performance, home life, and social interactions. At ProPaeds, we implement tailored measures to support your child, fostering adaptation and improved concentration in both academic and social settings.

Allergy Consultations

Allergies are on the rise worldwide and can cause a major burden on the child as well as on the family. Allergies are complex and these consultations take time and expertise. At ProPaeds we care for a large number of patients with a wide variety and spectrum of allergic diseases. Some of the services we offer include:
