My Philosophy
I see my role as a bridge between the science and evidence in medical literature, and the practical understanding a family needs. Together, we can develop a plan that is both scientifically sound and genuinely feasible for the child and family.
Understanding the child’s symptoms, their story and the family’s concerns.
Making the science, evidence and clinical reasoning clear and understandable.
Agreeing on a scientifically sound plan that is practical at home, at school and for the family.
