About Starwalkers Clinic
A Neurodiversity-Affirming Pediatric Therapy Clinic — India & Dubai
At Starwalkers Clinic, we follow an evidence-based, strength-based, child-led, and family-centred approach to therapy. Our work is grounded in respect, connection, and an understanding that every child learns and grows in their own unique way.
We are proud to be the first neurodiversity-affirming practice clinic established in India — now expanded to Dubai Healthcare City, UAE.
Who We Are
Our licensed therapists are trained and experienced in working with children with diverse developmental, communication, and sensory needs. We focus on identifying each child’s strengths and supporting meaningful progress through personalised, ethical, and developmentally appropriate interventions.
We believe collaboration is essential. Our team works closely with families and other professionals involved in a child’s care, while also supporting parents through education, guidance, and shared decision-making.
Starwalkers Clinic is proud to be the first neurodiversity-affirming practice clinic established in India and expanded in the UAE. We believe every person has the potential to learn, thrive, and achieve their goals when supported with the right guidance, understanding, accommodations, and professional care.
We deeply value the trust parents place in us and are committed to delivering high-quality services that prioritise compassion, integrity, and effective outcomes.
Our Values
Compassion
Compassion is at the heart of everything we do. We approach every child and family with empathy, kindness, and understanding, creating a safe and supportive space where they feel respected and heard.
Commitment to Progress
Every child has unique strengths. Our focus is on recognising those strengths and providing the right support to help each child make meaningful progress at their own pace.
Continuous Growth
We are committed to ongoing learning and professional development. By staying informed and sharing knowledge, we ensure that our practice remains current, ethical, and responsive to the needs of children and families.
What Makes Us Different
Our Teams
Starwalkers Clinic has two teams: our India team and our UAE team, based at Dubai Healthcare City. Families always know exactly who supports their child and where.
Meet our therapists on the Team page — including our founder, Nazma Sheikh, Speech-Language Therapist and the first certified NLA-trained therapist for Gestalt Language Development in Asia.
Every child deserves to be understood before they are taught.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does neurodiversity-affirming mean at Starwalkers?

Speech and language therapy, gestalt language (NLA) therapy, AAC support, occupational therapy, sensory integration, early intervention, feeding therapy, autism support, and group programs — plus online-only services including special education support and music therapy.
