I have trained in the Pediatric Neuro Disabilities Clinic at the Northwick Park Hospital, London for the diagnosis and management of Autism, ADHD and other Developmental Disorders.

With a vast referral from Mumbai as well as Maharashtra state, I got valuable experience in the neurological assessment of children with Learning Disability and have been part of the team involved in their certification.  I was also Honorary at B.

I am also trained to administer the Developmental Assessment Scale for Indian Infants (DASII) as well as the Griffiths Mental Development Scales (GMDS), London, to objectively assess development in various domains to help plan early intervention.
