Sidra Medicine offers psychological counseling for parents and caregivers of children with disabilities and learning difficulties through individual one-hour sessions led by a Clinical Psychologist. This service supports families in navigating the complexities of neurodiversity and related challenges, with the frequency and focus of sessions tailored to each family’s needs.

Counseling may cover topics such as understanding a diagnosis, making school placement decisions, managing daily routines including screen time and sleep, and balancing the needs of the child with those of the wider family. Sessions provide a safe and supportive space for parents to process emotions, strengthen coping strategies, and build confidence in supporting their child.

Families interested in accessing this can contact Sidra Medicine through the appointment request page and indicate “parent counseling” in the text field to begin the consultation process.
