About of Alison S. Poulton

Alison S. Poulton is a Pediatrician based at 62 Derby St, Kingswood, NSW 2747, Australia. She looks after children and families across a range of health and development needs, from behaviour and learning concerns to growth and long-term conditions.


In clinic, her focus often includes attention and behaviour issues such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). She also helps families when a child’s day-to-day life is affected by these challenges, and when support plans need to be clear and practical.


Alison also works with kids where there are growth and early-life health factors. This can include concerns like being small for gestational age, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and situations linked with gestational diabetes in pregnancy. In many cases, it’s about understanding what happened before birth and making sure the child is tracking in a safe, steady way.


Some children she sees have ongoing medical needs too. This includes conditions like Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which can involve seizures and development over time. She also cares for children with neurogenic bladder, where bladder function needs careful monitoring and support.


Weight and health are also part of her paediatric care. She supports families dealing with obesity in children, and she helps with looking at routines, diet, activity, and what changes are realistic for the child and their household.


Service and clinical experience details aren’t listed here, so there’s no specific work history included on this page. The same goes for education and research information—those details are not provided in the information available.


Clinical trial involvement isn’t listed either. If you need help working out what care and follow-up could look like, it’s best to speak with the clinic directly about current options and any relevant support services.


Overall, Alison’s paediatric care is grounded in everyday needs for children and their families—helping make complex problems feel more manageable, step by step.
