Dr. Anuradha Srinivasan

Developmental Pediatrics

Dr. Anuradha Srinivasan is a specialised Developmental Paediatrician at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chennai, with focused expertise in childhood neurodevelopmental conditions. She holds an MD in Pediatrics along with a Postgraduate Diploma in Developmental Neurology, a combination that positions her uniquely at the intersection of general paediatric medicine and the neuroscience of child development. Her subspecialty training in Developmental Neurology enables her to understand not just the behavioural and functional manifestations of developmental conditions, but also the neurological underpinnings that drive them.

Developmental Paediatrics is a highly nuanced field that addresses how a child’s brain grows, learns, communicates, and behaves. Children who are late to talk, struggle in school, show repetitive behaviours, have difficulty paying attention, or seem to be developing differently from their peers often benefit enormously from early, expert evaluation. Dr. Anuradha’s practice is built around precisely this: identifying developmental concerns early, providing accurate diagnoses, and connecting families with the right interventions at the right time.

Available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Dr. Anuradha Srinivasan offers dedicated developmental assessments for children whose needs go beyond routine paediatric care. Parents in Chennai who have concerns about their child’s speech, behaviour, attention, learning, or overall development will find in Dr. Anuradha a thorough, empathetic specialist who places the child’s potential at the centre of every consultation.
