Dr. Jayenthrie Venketramen | Consultant Developmental Paediatrician MBChB, DCh(SA), FCPaed(SA), MMed, CertDevPaed(SA) 

About Me I am a Consultant Developmental Paediatrician specialising in the assessment and care of children and young people. After completing fellowship-level paediatric training in South Africa, I subspecialised in developmental paediatrics at the renowned Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town. I have been delivering specialist neurodevelopmental care in Ireland since 2019. Bringing a unique blend of medical and psychiatric expertise, I also served as a Paediatric Consultant within a CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) team for over three years.  

Conditions I Treat & How I Can Help I evaluate the whole child from a medical and developmental perspective, rather than focusing on an isolated set of symptoms. My key areas of focus include:   

• Childhood ADHD Assessments & Care: Providing extensive clinical expertise in diagnosing childhood ADHD and navigating both stimulant and non-stimulant medication management.  
• Autism & Neurodevelopmental Presentations: Expertly assessing and managing autism spectrum conditions and other complex neurodevelopmental presentations.  
• Emotional & Behavioural Support: Addressing the emotional and behavioural challenges that frequently accompany neurodevelopmental conditions to support your child's overall wellbeing.  
• Online Paediatric Consultations: Delivering expert-led assessments and follow-up care for families across Ireland via online consultations, making specialist healthcare accessible without the need for travel.  

My Approach to Care My practice is defined by a holistic, child-centred approach. I understand that a diagnosis is only the first step, which is why my clinical reports are clear and highly practical, designed to provide actionable support to families, educational staff, and multidisciplinary professionals. I work closely and collaboratively with psychology, psychiatry, and allied health teams to ensure that every child
receives fully coordinated, evidence-based support.
