Coordination with Schools and Psychologists

Bringing Everyone Together So Your Child Can Succeed

At KidsHeart Medical Center, we know that a child’s well-being doesn’t stop at the clinic door. Neurological and developmental conditions often affect classroom behavior, learning, attention, and emotional health.
That’s why we work closely with schools, psychologists, and families to build collaborative, effective support plans.

The goal isn’t just medical care — it’s academic success, emotional resilience, and a smoother daily life.
Our Pediatric Neurology team offers integrated care across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Al Ain — with one eye on the brain, and one on the bigger picture.

What Does Coordination Involve?

We help align everyone involved in your child’s care by:

Sharing diagnostic insights with school teams
Recommending accommodations and classroom strategies
Collaborating with educational psychologists or counselors
Supporting Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) or behavior plans
Offering written summaries or attending school meetings when needed

This is especially helpful for children with:

ADHD, autism, or learning disorders
Epilepsy or neurological diagnoses affecting attention
Behavioral changes tied to medical treatment
Sensory or emotional regulation issues

It’s not just about diagnosis — it’s about daily function and growth.

When Should You Request School or Psychologist Coordination?

We recommend this step if:

Your child’s condition is affecting school performance
Teachers are unsure how to manage behavior or needs
You need formal accommodations or therapy integration
There’s a mismatch between home and school expectations
Psychological evaluations are being done and need input
You want a team approach — not fragmented care

Your child thrives when all adults in their world speak the same language.

How We Work With Schools and Psychologists

Here’s what collaborative support can look like:

Parent-Guided Communication: We start by understanding your concerns and what’s happening in school.
Clear, Written Medical Summaries: We prepare reports tailored for educators and therapists.
Educational Recommendations: These may include seating, breaks, modified homework, or testing supports.
Direct Liaison (When Requested): We can speak to school staff or external psychologists if you prefer.
Ongoing Review and Updates: As your child grows, we revisit needs — and adjust the plan accordingly.

The aim is to create a realistic, supportive path for success — not just paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will you speak directly to my child’s school?

Yes, if you request it. We also provide written summaries you can share.

What if my child’s psychologist is outside KidsHeart?

That’s fine. We’re happy to coordinate with external professionals.

Can you help with IEP forms or school documents?

Yes. We support parents with medical letters, reports, and recommendations.

We can join virtually or share input for meetings, depending on the case.

How often do you update these recommendations?

Typically every 6–12 months, or sooner if the child’s condition changes.
