David J. Amor is a paediatric neurologist based in Parkville, VIC, at 50 Flemington Road, Parkville, VIC 3052, Australia.
He looks after babies, children, and teens who need help when the brain, nerves, or muscles are affected. This can include developmental issues, movement problems, and different types of seizures. Some families come in because they’re seeing delays with language and speech, trouble with movement or coordination, or ongoing concerns with learning and daily skills.
In many cases, care also involves rare genetic and neurodevelopmental conditions. That might mean supporting children with conditions linked to brain development, muscle tone, and sensory needs. At times, he helps families navigate complex diagnoses where more than one system is involved, like growth, feeding, hearing, or unusual movement patterns.
David’s work focuses on practical, family-centred care. Paediatric neurology can feel overwhelming, so the goal is to help explain what’s happening in clear terms and work through next steps. Treatment planning may involve coordinating tests, working with other specialists, and keeping an eye on how symptoms change over time.
His experience covers a wide range of presentations, including conditions such as Angelman syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Rett syndrome, and 1p36 deletion syndrome, as well as epilepsy in children and other seizure types. He also sees children with conditions that affect movement and development, like cerebral palsy, hypotonia, apraxia, dysarthria, and autism spectrum disorder. Families may also need support for related issues such as microcephaly, developmental expressive language difficulties, and hearing concerns.
Research interests and training background can be hard to fit into a short profile, and the education and publication details aren’t listed here. Clinical trial involvement also isn’t shown in the available information.
Overall, the approach is calm and steady. For children with neurodevelopmental and neurological needs, the aim is to make the path ahead clearer, support families through the details, and help manage symptoms in day-to-day life.
