Dr. Amirhossein Mahdavian is a senior consultant pediatric neurologist with longstanding expertise in diagnosing and managing complex neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Since 2010 he has been based in Sweden’s public healthcare system, with a central role in habilitation services that support children with long-term neurological disability, including motor impairment, communication disorders, behavioral-neurological syndromes, and global developmental delay.

At the Habilitation Center Skåne, where he has practiced from 2010 to the present (part-time since 2012), he serves as a clinical lead in pediatric neurology, assessing and managing children with severe and multifactorial neurologic conditions. His work there is multidisciplinary by design: he collaborates with physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, developmental psychologists, and special education services to build comprehensive, individualized care programs.

From 2014 to 2018, he also served as a senior consultant in pediatric neurology at the Habilitation Center Gothenburg, focusing particularly on neurodevelopmental and neurogenetic disorders. In that role he contributed to regional coordination of care, improving pathways for children with rare syndromes, suspected inborn errors of metabolism, and complex learning and behavioral phenotypes linked to neurological dysfunction.

In parallel, from 2001 to 2016 he held progressively senior leadership responsibilities at the Department of Pediatrics in Gävle Hospital, Sweden — ultimately serving as Consultant and Medical Director. In that position he supervised the pediatric neurology service and the local Child Habilitation Center, covered both inpatient and outpatient pediatric care, and was responsible for training pediatric residents between 2010 and 2014.

Beyond clinical work, Dr. Mahdavian is active in knowledge translation and clinician education. He is the editor and content lead of “Neuropedia Consult,” an online platform in pediatric neurology that curates and delivers evidence-based guidance for practicing clinicians. This role reflects his interest in standardizing high-quality neurological assessment in children and helping other pediatricians recognize complex neurologic patterns on MRI, at bedside, and in long-term developmental follow-up.
