I’m glad to write about Dr. Batool, a highly skilled psycho-educational professional. During my years of practice in Saudi Arabia from 2016 to 2020 at Johns Hopkins Aramco Hospital (JAHA), I witnessed the positive impact of her work for the families raising children with disabilities in the community and her great efforts in promoting disability inclusion programs in the Kingdom.
She has an exceptional ability to connect with the families in need of guidance, providing them with a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment in which to explore their challenges.
