Catherine S. Gibson is a Paediatrician based in Adelaide, working from 1st Floor Queen Victoria Building, 72 King William Road, Adelaide SA 5006, Australia. She looks after babies, children, and families when things are not quite right with development, movement, or overall health.
In many cases, her work involves supporting kids who have cerebral palsy and spastic diplegia (infantile type). These conditions can affect how a child moves, sits, walks, and uses their body day to day. She also helps with care planning when a child’s needs change over time, not just in the early years, but as they grow and face new challenges at school and at home.
Catherine also deals with more specific, less common conditions, including Collins Pope syndrome and cytomegalic inclusion disease. At times, these diagnoses can be hard to take in for families. The goal is to keep things clear and practical, so parents and carers know what to watch for and what next steps might look like.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is another area she is familiar with. While SIDS can’t always be prevented, safe sleep guidance and good health checks make a real difference. She focuses on helping families understand risk factors and create a safe routine, based on what fits their situation.
Paediatric care is about more than one appointment. It often means thinking about the whole picture: growth, development, feeding, comfort, and how a child is coping day to day. Catherine works with families to make sure support is in place and that care is coordinated where it needs to be. Over time, she aims to help children reach their best possible health, while keeping families supported through the ups and downs.
