Mr Elhaj is an occupational therapist with over five years of professional experience working across the United Arab Emirates. He has held positions at Mediclinic Al Madar Clinic, Noble Medical Centre, and Al Ain Centre for Care and Rehabilitation, where he has supported patients of all ages in overcoming physical, neurological, and developmental challenges.
Occupational therapy focuses on how a health condition affects a person's ability to function at home, school, or work. Mr Elhaj assesses and treats patients experiencing difficulties with everyday activities — such as dressing, eating, and self-care — whether due to stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease, arthritis, sensory processing difficulties, autism, cerebral palsy, or developmental delays. He works as part of a multidisciplinary team alongside doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and speech therapists.
Mr Elhaj is a good fit for families seeking support for children with developmental or learning challenges, adults recovering from stroke or injury, and anyone struggling with independence in daily tasks. His approach centres on building confidence and practical ability to engage meaningfully in work, school, and home life.
Special interests: sensory processing disorders, autism spectrum disorder, Parkinson's disease, activities of daily living, hand injuries and rehabilitation.
