WHY CHOOSE BIRT NEURODEVELOPMENTAL
My practice is firmly rooted in the principals of the multi-disciplinary team approach, and is centred around a holistic, individualised approach and open communication for the evaluation of each child. The aim of my practice is to assist the child and their family in their journey towards achieving their fullest potential.

Follow-up and long term care
Our model is one based on continued follow up and support for families. We feel these type of difficulties may require reassessments, and we strive to offer more than simply a once-off consultation

Griffiths III
Griffiths III provides an overall measure of a child’s development, as well as an individual profile of strengths and needs across various areas of development. It is a standardized test that is used to track and monitor a child’s development over time. It provides valuable information to inform decisions about future placement and management of the child. It can be used for children from birth up to 6 years. The duration of administering the Griffiths is approximately 60 minutes

I completed my Masters in Childhood Neurodevelopment in 2019. My thesis was on Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. I have a position as a part-time lecturer in the School of Clinical Medicine, Department of Paediatrics and Child Health of the University of Witwatersrand. I assess and treat patients at the neurodevelopmental clinics of both Rahima Moosa and Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. I have published academic articles on both ADHD and neurodevelopmental assessment, and I have international clinical research around the application of the Griffiths tool in paediatric neurodevelopment.
