Dinah S. Reddihough is a Pediatric Neurologist based in Parkville, VIC, working out of Flemington Road, Parkville VIC 3052, Australia.
She looks after babies, kids, and young people who have neurological conditions. This can include concerns with movement, muscle tone, and how a child’s brain handles signals. In many cases, families are dealing with things like seizures, abnormal movements, or developmental changes that need careful, ongoing support.
Her clinic work often covers conditions such as cerebral palsy and spastic diplegia (infantile type), plus other complex neurodevelopmental issues. She also sees children with epilepsy, including different seizure types, and syndromes where seizures and development can affect each other. At times, that might involve supporting treatment for patterns like absence seizures, generalised tonic-clonic seizures, or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
Dinah also helps with movement and muscle problems, including spasticity and several movement disorders. Some children come in for things like drug induced dyskinesia, stereotypic movements, or challenges with speech clarity (dysarthria). Hearing loss and other related developmental concerns can also be part of the picture.
Alongside movement and seizure care, she treats conditions that affect how children grow and communicate. For example, autism spectrum disorder may come up, as well as developmental expressive language difficulties. She may also work with families where genetic conditions are involved, such as Down syndrome or Prader-Willi syndrome, and where there are neurological symptoms that need a clear plan.
Where it makes sense, Dinah focuses on diagnosis and day-to-day management that fits the child and the family’s life. That can mean helping parents understand what is happening, what to watch for, and how treatments might help over time. It also means coordinating the right next steps when symptoms change.
Over time, her experience in paediatric neurology supports children with both long-term conditions and sudden changes, including febrile seizure-related syndromes and other seizure disorders. She aims to keep care steady, practical, and clear, especially when families feel overwhelmed.
