Dr. Narinder Dhaliwal listened carefully during our thorough consultation. Her concern and care to see a positive outcome for our son was so personalized. She followed up with a large list of referrals and suggestions for therapies, tutoring, and social skill building that got us on the right track for fall. We picked and chose between a handful of suggestions that worked with our schedule and home location. Fast forward a few months after a summer one-on-one tutoring and a new school setting, we are seeing so many positive changes and a much happier and confident child.

We are so grateful for the genuine care and professional insight that Dr. Dhaliwal was able to provide us in our time of need. As parents, we had a hunch that things seemed a little different with our son. Dr. Dhaliwal listened intently and was able to quickly identify ways in which we could immediately and effectively support our child. She provided us with countless avenues of support. And gave us a great range of options to fit our families’ needs. As a professional, Dr. Dhaliwal is incredibly well-versed and knowledgeable. But her role as a dedicated mother of three adds a layer of intuitiveness and compassion that cannot be learned in a book. She’s the real deal! With the sound advice and solid guidance, we have embarked on our journey with our son feeling well-equipped and supported. Many many thanks!

HOW TO HELP NEURODIVERGENT KIDS? Coach Their Parents. Island Behaviorist Works to Pave a Path into Adulthood

Dr. Narinder K. Dhaliwal doesn’t do one-size-fits-all solutions. In her work with neurodivergent youth—meaning kids diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who may also have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)—it’s all about finding the individualized pathway and services that help her clients succeed. “It’s my geeky area,” she said.

Dr. Narinder Dhaliwal helped us make sense of our 11-year-old son’s ADHD diagnosis. We were so confused and overwhelmed, but she broke it down for us into easy-to-understand and manageable parts. Then, she guided us to the specific help we needed to address his needs. 

My son is now 14, and with the help he has received, he is thriving. He’s doing very well in school,  he is on medication that makes him feel better, he has learned coping skills for his anxiety, and he has learned organization, among other things. Dr. Narinder Dhaliwal is so kind, and she really cares. She thoroughly understands ADHD and is an expert on getting the help needed. We are so grateful to have been a recipient of her expertise and her wisdom.

Dr. Dhaliwal has been instrumental in helping us navigate a path forward for our dyslexic child. Her approach is very holistic in that she considers the whole picture, not just the parts. She has counseled us in many areas including diet and nutrition, helping our daughter overcome her social anxiety, helping us parents be advocates in the public school system and preparing our daughter for the college years. She is a wealth of knowledge and someone you want to have in your corner. I can't recommend Dr. Dhaliwal enough!
