Long-Term Neurological Care for Chronic Conditions
Because Neurology Isn’t Just About the Diagnosis
At KidsHeart Medical Center, we care for children with conditions that don’t resolve in a single visit. Epilepsy. Cerebral palsy. Genetic syndromes. Neuromuscular disorders.
For these children, long-term neurological care means more than just monitoring
it means planning, adapting, supporting, and advocating at every stage of development.
Our Pediatric Neurology team provides structured, compassionate follow-up for chronic neurological conditions across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Al Ain.
What Does Long-Term Neurological Care Involve?
We manage ongoing conditions with a focus on:
- Symptom monitoring and progression tracking
- Medication reviews and adjustments
- Therapy planning and coordination
- Growth, learning, and behavior support
- Emotional health and family guidance
- Transitions through developmental stages
Conditions we commonly support long-term include:
- Epilepsy and seizure disorders
- Cerebral palsy and motor delays
- Muscular dystrophy and genetic syndromes
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Developmental delays or intellectual disabilities
Every child’s path is unique — so our care is flexible, but structured.
When Is Long-Term Follow-Up Needed?
We recommend continued care if your child:
- Has a chronic or recurring neurological diagnosis
- Requires ongoing medications or therapy
- Has evolving needs due to growth or puberty
- Is transitioning between schools or services
- Has emotional or behavioral shifts linked to their condition
- Needs consistent support across years — not just episodes
Neurological care isn’t about solving everything at once — it’s about staying present over time.
What to Expect From Ongoing Neurological Care
Here’s how we guide families through the long term:
- Scheduled Review Visits: Typically every 3–6 months, tailored to your child’s condition.
- Developmental and Functional Tracking: We monitor speech, motor, cognitive, and social milestones.
- Medication Monitoring: Adjusting doses, reviewing side effects, planning weaning when appropriate.
- Therapy and School Coordination: Linking with physiotherapy, speech therapy, and educational teams.
- Family Support and Anticipatory Guidance: Helping you plan ahead — for challenges, transitions, and decisions.
Our role is to stay steady while your child’s journey evolves.
