About This Blog

Written by parents, for parents. Backed by science.

Every article on this blog is written by Adi and Dana, the founders of Hopeful Neuron and Melillo Method certified practitioners based in Mill Hill, London. They are also parents who have lived the journey of supporting a child with neurodevelopmental challenges firsthand.

The articles here cover the topics parents most commonly search for: why does my child have meltdowns, how to help a child with ADHD without medication, what are retained primitive reflexes, signs of autism in children, natural help for sensory processing disorder, how to improve focus and learning naturally, and much more.

Everything is written in plain parent friendly language with no unnecessary jargon. Where research is referenced, links to peer reviewed sources are included. Our goal is simple: to give you the clearest, most honest information possible so you can make the best decisions for your child.

If you are based in London, you are welcome to visit our clinic in Mill Hill. If you are elsewhere in the UK or anywhere in the world, we offer fully remote programmes with the same level of support and parent training.
