About
Shehabeddin works with children whose development needs additional support. His practice covers sensory processing disorders, where children may be unusually sensitive to touch or constantly seeking movement, alongside autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other neurological conditions. He also supports children with ADHD and learning difficulties. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and gives each child practical strategies for daily life, from getting dressed independently to focusing in class, working closely with families throughout.
