"Dana and Adi are a great team, incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Even after completing the Intensive week they continued supporting us, answering any concerns with confidence and care."
You've tried a lot.
Nobody has looked
at the right things yet.
Our older son didn't speak until he was five. We know this feeling because we lived it. On The Clarity Day we spend a full day with you and your child, looking at what is actually going on in their brain and body. Then we give you a plan and stay with you for three months while you use it. No waiting list. No diagnosis needed.
Not sure if this or the full Intensive week is right for you? The Clarity Day is the starting point most families take first.
Method
★★★★★"No one has ever explained our child like this before."
Parent, London
Everyone keeps telling you
it's a parenting thing.
It isn't.
You know your child. You know something isn't right. You have probably spent months or years being told to wait, to try this strategy, to give it time. Meanwhile your child is falling further behind at school, the mornings get harder, and you go to bed exhausted wondering what you are missing.
What we find, working with children with ADHD, autism and sensory processing difficulties, is that the thing driving the behaviour is almost always something nobody has looked at yet. Primitive reflexes that never integrated. A nervous system stuck in a state of alarm. A brain and body that are not working together the way they should. These things can change. But first someone has to find them.
Our clinic is in Mill Hill, and families come to us from right across North London, Hendon, Finchley, Golders Green, Barnet, Muswell Hill and Hampstead, as well as from further afield across the UK and remotely from abroad.
"We were those parents. We had the same appointments, the same confusion and the same feeling that nobody was actually seeing our child. That is why we do this the way we do."
Adi and Dana, Hopeful Neuron
Our older son didn't speak
until he was five.
That is not a statistic from a course we took. It is where this started. He was diagnosed at the lowest percentile of development in the UK. Before we were practitioners, we were two parents watching him struggle and refusing to accept that this was just how things were going to be.
We dealt with PANDAS, with rage that turned physical, with a level of frustration and anxiety that had nowhere to go and came out sideways. There were years our house was chaos. We prioritised therapy above everything else, even when it stretched us thin, because we believed he could get to independence. Today he is fully verbal, holds conversations, has finished his GCSEs, has friends and lives independently.
Our younger son developed social anxiety that got worse during the pandemic years, to the point where he stopped speaking above a whisper, even to us, even at home. We watched his voice disappear. Through breathing exercises, mindfulness, kinesiology, somatic work and a huge amount of patience, we got it back. He is confident now, and he speaks.
We chose a different route for our own sons from the beginning, because we believed the nervous system could be helped to do what it was built to do. That belief is what sent us to train. We qualified as Melillo Method certified practitioners in 2022, and with IAFNR, and we have kept training since, in auditory listening, vision therapy, posturology and neurofeedback. Not because a certificate tells parents we are capable. Because our own sons told us this works, and we owed it to other families to know how to do it properly.
We built Hopeful Neuron because we could not find what our children needed anywhere else. If your house feels like ours did, we know exactly where to start looking.
The order we work in.
Regulation
Help the nervous system feel safe, so your child isn't stuck in fight, flight or shutdown.
Movement
Build balance, coordination and body awareness, the physical foundation the brain relies on.
Reflexes
Gently help early automatic reflexes finish switching off, so they stop getting in the way.
Learning & Communication
Focus, language and independence can now land, because the foundation underneath them is there.
A real look at your child.
Then three months beside you
while you use it.
This is a three month programme. It starts with a full day in clinic in Mill Hill. We look at your child properly, treat what we find and build a plan around who your child actually is. Then we stay. Two follow up calls to check in and adjust what needs adjusting. And ongoing contact throughout, so when things get hard at week three, you are not alone.
You will not leave wondering what to do next. That is the whole point.
Everything that happens
from day one to month three.
You should know exactly what you are getting before you book. So here it is.
We look at things most assessments never check
Not a form. Not a box ticking exercise. We physically look at how your child's brain and body are working together: balance, coordination, posture, primitive reflexes, sensory processing and nervous system regulation.
Most parents say nobody has ever looked at that. That is usually exactly right.
- Covers areas most standard assessments completely miss
- Explains the real reason behind what you are seeing at home and school
- Gentle and paced to suit your child's sensory needs
You find out why things are hard and what to do about them
The mornings. The homework. The meltdown at the supermarket checkout. We go through each one and show you what is driving it for your child specifically. Not a general list of strategies. An explanation that actually fits.
You stop guessing. That alone changes things at home.
- Simple strategies that fit into real family life
- Works for ADHD, autism, sensory difficulties and learning challenges
- You leave with real tools, not a leaflet
Your child gets actual support, not just observation
Your child receives hands on therapy during the visit: light based tools including the Neuronic device, brain and body stimulation, regulation and vibration devices. Everything is chosen based on what we found and adjusted as we go.
What often happens, and parents notice this, is that a child who arrived wound up and unsettled will be visibly calmer by the end. Not tired. Actually settled.
- Safe and appropriate for children with sensory processing difficulties
- Adapted in real time to how your child is feeling that day
- Many children feel noticeably calmer before they leave the clinic
You leave with a plan built around your child, not a template
We sit down and write out exactly what to do at home. Simple daily exercises for the specific things we found. What to try in the morning. What to do when a meltdown is building. How to make bedtime less of a battle.
Then we check in at week four and week eight to see how it is going. And between those calls, we are there when things come up.
- Written in plain language any parent can follow at home
- Practical exercises for focus, meltdowns, sleep and learning
- Followed up by two calls and three months of ongoing support
We do not hand you a plan and disappear
Most programmes give you information and leave you to get on with it alone. We know that is exactly where families get stuck. Week three is often the hard one. The initial energy fades. Something unexpected happens at school. You are not sure if you are doing it right.
That is exactly what the follow up calls are for. We look at what is actually happening, not what was supposed to happen, and we adjust. And throughout the three months, you can reach us when you need to.
What actually changes
for families who go through this.
Not promises. Just what we see happen, again and again, when parents finally understand what is going on for their child and have real support while they act on it.
You understand what is actually driving the behaviour
Not a diagnosis. A real explanation. Why the mornings are so hard. Why loud places send them over the edge. Specific answers to things you have been wondering about for years.
A home plan you can start that same evening
Short daily exercises built around your child. Not a general programme. The kind of thing that takes ten minutes and fits into real life with a real family.
Two calls to keep you on track
One at week four. One at week eight. Real sessions where we look at what is actually happening and adjust the plan. Not a quick welfare call.
You know what to do when things go wrong at 7am
The meltdown over the school shoes. The refusal to get in the car. Tools for those moments that work with your child's nervous system rather than against it.
Three months of support, not a leaflet
Reach out when you hit a wall. Week three is often the hard one. That is exactly when we are most useful. Not just at the start.
You stop dreading the next difficult moment
That is usually how parents describe it afterwards. Not that everything is fixed. But that they feel less like they are failing and more like they know what they are doing.
One price for the full three month programme. Nothing added on later. This is what we would want for our own children, and it is what we bring to yours.
✓ 3 months. Two calls. Real support.In their own words.
Not ours.
"We saw improvement in our son's behaviour. 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."
"Very caring and have your best interests at heart. Check ins from Dana help to keep you focused with working on programmes at home and they are always there with support. Highly recommend."
Most support gives you information and leaves you alone with it. We give you the information and stay with you for three months while you use it.
Book The Clarity DayWe look at things
other people don't look at.
Most approaches to ADHD and autism support focus on managing what is happening on the surface. We work backwards from the root. When you address that level, the surface stuff tends to shift on its own.
Honestly, who this works for
and who it probably doesn't.
We would rather you come knowing exactly what this is than arrive expecting something different.
This is a good fit if...
- ✔You want to understand what is actually driving your child's difficulties, not just manage them
- ✔You are willing to do short daily activities at home
- ✔Your child has ADHD, autism, sensory processing difficulties or unexplained learning challenges
- ✔You do not have a diagnosis yet and cannot wait for one
- ✔You want someone to stay with you for three months while you put things into practice
This probably isn't right if...
- ✗You are looking for a one off session with no follow through
- ✗You want a formal diagnosis, we do not issue those
- ✗You are not in a position to do anything at home right now
- ✗You want a sit and watch assessment where someone observes and hands you a report
- ✗You want the same plan every other child gets
A lot of families go on to our full Intensive Programme.
The Clarity Day is often enough to get things moving. But for families who want more work in clinic, we run a full week of intensive therapy and nervous system support in Mill Hill. What you build in The Clarity Day becomes the base for everything that follows.
Things parents
usually want to know
If something is not covered here, just book a free call. We would rather talk it through with you than have you second guess whether this is right.
No. Many of the families we see are still on a waiting list. They cannot wait years, and they should not have to. If you are worried about your child's focus, meltdowns, sensory responses or learning, that is enough reason to start. We do not need a label to get going.
A three hour day in clinic in Mill Hill (full child assessment, hands on therapy, parent training session and personalised home plan), two 45 minute follow up calls at week 4 and week 8, and ongoing support throughout the three months. One price, nothing added on later.
You come to our clinic in Mill Hill for three hours. The first 90 minutes is with your child, a full hands on assessment of their nervous system, reflexes, sensory processing and coordination, followed by direct therapy based on what we find. The second 90 minutes is with you. We go through everything, explain what we saw, and build a home plan together. You can start it that evening.
The first call at week 4 is a proper review. We go through what has been working, what has not, and adjust the exercises. The second call at week 8 covers the progress your child has made and what we would recommend as the next step. These are not quick check ins. They are proper working sessions.
We are not reading from a textbook. We are Melillo Method certified practitioners who spent over twenty years finding what actually worked for our own two sons. We assess primitive reflexes, balance, coordination, sensory processing and nervous system regulation, the layer most assessments never look at.
Almost certainly yes. Standard assessments tend not to look at how the brain and body are physically working together. Parents regularly tell us we explained things in one session that nobody had raised after years of appointments.
Yes. The clinic day is in person at our Mill Hill clinic in London NW4, but families travel from across the UK for it. The two follow up calls and all ongoing support happen remotely, so the distance does not affect the programme after that initial day.
£697 for The Clarity Day. That covers the clinic day, your personalised home plan, two follow up calls and three months of ongoing support. No hidden extras. If you want to talk it through first, book a free 15 minute call.
We priced it at what we would want to pay ourselves. We know what it is like to sit across from a practitioner wondering if you can actually afford the help your child needs, and we do not want cost to be the reason a family does not come. £697 covers the full three month programme properly. It is not a taster or a stripped back version of anything.
