What happens on the call

You may have already tried advice, therapies and strategies. This call is a chance to speak with Adi and Dana, practitioners who are also parents, and find out honestly whether what we do might help your family.

Tell us about your child

Share what you're seeing at home, at school and socially. We listen without judgement.

We explain how we work

We walk you through primitive reflex work and nervous system support in plain language, and what the evidence does and doesn't show.

We tell you honestly if we're the right fit

Every child is different. We'll say honestly what we think the right next step looks like, whether that's the Intensive, the Remote Programme, a Clarity Day, or something else.

You leave with more clarity

Even if we're not the right fit right now, our aim is that you leave with a clearer picture of your options.

What some parents
tell us.

These are quotes from real families. Individual experiences vary, and we can't promise the same for every child.

"He is calmer now, his focus has improved, he's exploring everything around the house which he wasn't doing before, and his sleep has improved."
Niko & Sanja Apostoloski
London · Son aged 4, autism
"Very caring and truly have your best interests at heart. Check ins from Dana help to keep you focused and they are always there with support and any extra questions."

Questions parents ask

Honest answers to what parents ask us most before the call.

Yes, completely free and with no obligation. It's a 15 minute conversation to talk about your child and see whether what we do might help, before you commit to anything.

No. Your child doesn't need a formal autism or ADHD diagnosis to work with us. We work with children who are on NHS waiting lists, and with children whose parents are concerned but haven't pursued a diagnosis. We don't diagnose ourselves.

Yes. We support families worldwide through our remote programmes. Some of our families have never visited our Mill Hill clinic. The exercises and guidance are delivered so they work at home, wherever you are.

Primitive reflexes are early movement patterns that help babies organise their brain and body, and usually fade as the nervous system matures. Some practitioners, including us, believe that when they don't fully fade, they may interfere with attention, emotional regulation, coordination, posture and learning. This is debated, and research is limited. You can read more in our guide to primitive reflexes.

Every child is different, and we can't promise a timeline. Some families notice early changes within weeks to a couple of months, often in sleep or daily behaviour. Others notice little. Changes in learning and focus, where they happen, tend to build over several months.

Possibly. What we do is designed to sit alongside OT and speech and language therapy (SALT), not replace them, and we'd encourage you to keep both going. We look at the nervous system and movement, which we think may support other therapies, though that isn't established.

Research on our approach is limited and mixed, and it isn't part of standard NHS care. We can't promise results. See our page on the science behind what we do for an honest look at the evidence.

If you're worried about your child's development, behaviour or wellbeing, yes. What we do is designed to sit alongside your GP and any other professionals your child sees, not replace them.

This page is general information for parents. It is not medical advice, and it does not replace advice from your GP, health visitor, paediatrician or other health professional.
