Introduction:
I am a DOH-licensed Occupational Therapist with over 11 years of experience working with children across the UAE and India. I am dedicated to delivering evidence-based, child- and family-centered therapy to help children build independence, confidence, and functional skills.
Therapeutic Approach:
I specialize in the Ayers Sensory Integration® approach, which supports children in regulating sensory input, improving motor planning, and developing adaptive responses.I also focus on enhancing handwriting and fine motor skills, helping children strengthen their grasp, improve visual-motor integration, and develop the endurance needed for academic success. My primary area of practice is with the pediatric population, particularly children with ASD,ADHD, developmental delays, and school-based learning difficulties.
Client Experience:
Parents and children can expect a supportive, collaborative, and child-friendly environment when working with me. I design structured, evidence-based therapy plans tailored to each child’s developmental and sensory needs. My sessions emphasize both skill-building and confidence-building, ensuring that therapy is meaningful and motivating.
Personal Interests:
Outside of her professional work, Monika enjoys creative activities such as leather craftsmanship, cycling, and mindfulness practices, as well as continuing professional development. Her passion for learning and creativity informs a holistic perspective on therapy, reinforcing her belief that supporting a child also involves nurturing the well-being of their family. This approach fosters a balanced, growth-oriented environment that promotes both skill development and meaningful connections.
