Dr. Madhuri Arora (MBBS, PGDSEN)

General Physician and SENCo Trainee, in United Arab Emirates

Dr. Madhuri is an MBBS graduate from India, with over 20 years of experience working as a General Physician (GP). Her first home is Mumbai; she currently lives and practises in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). 

New opportunities in different (yet related) fields sparked her interest in Special Education Needs (SEN). A temporary volunteering job inspired her to contribute more to a field that requires equal compassion for children with learning difficulties. This motivation led her to complete a post-graduate diploma in Special Education, focusing on ADHD, Autism and other learning difficulties. Currently, Dr. Madhuri is pursuing training to become a Special Education Needs Coordinator (SENCo) in the Early Years Foundation Stage. She is keen to explore diverse therapies, as she believes that each individual benefits uniquely from therapies best suited to them and their needs. She was delighted to then connect with The Occupational Therapy Hub team, who have piqued her interest in occupational therapy. 

Outside of productivity-based occupations, her hobbies include playing tennis, singing and listening to a variety of music. As a music enthusiast, she is also eager to learn about the benefits of music and sound therapy; these can support improved functioning of both mind and body, in a holistic manner.
