About Us

The Children's Clinic is a multi-disciplinary service based in Sandycove, Co. Dublin. We support children from 0-18, specialising in assessing and supporting a broad range of developmental differences and disabilities including Autism, DCD (Dyspraxia), Dyslexia and Speech Delay.  All of our support for developmental difference is respectful and neurodiversity affirmative.

The Children’s Clinic was founded in 2016 by Dr. Moira Kennedy and Davida Hartman, Principal Educational and Child Psychologists and experts in the field of child development, with over fifty years combined experience of working with children.

The Children’s Clinic team of experienced Psychologists, Occupational Therapists and Speech & Language Therapists are well-recognized throughout Ireland as  experts in assessing and supporting children with Autism, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder). All of our assessments are best practice, and accepted by the HSE and the Department of Education.

We offer a range of services to help with parents’ queries or concerns, including consultation sessions and best practice assessments. By working in partnership with parents, we also promote successful outcomes using a range of strengths based and solution focussed interventions.
