Who We Help

Autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences and retained primitive reflexes, all approached through the same nervous system first method.

Whatever brought you here, a diagnosis, a hunch, a waiting list, or just a feeling that something isn't quite adding up, the starting point is always the same. Your child is not the problem. Their nervous system needs support.

Four areas, one method underneath.

Every family who comes to us fits somewhere on this list, sometimes more than one. Pick whichever sounds closest to what you're seeing, or take the free call if you're not sure.

Autism Support

Meltdowns, sensory overwhelm, difficulty with eye contact and transitions. Support that starts with the nervous system, not the behaviour.

Learn More →

ADHD Support

Difficulty focusing, impulsivity, homework battles and constant reminders. Why sticker charts only get you so far.

Learn More →

Sensory Processing Support

Texture aversions, noise sensitivity, mealtime battles and seeking behaviour. Support beyond the sensory diet.

Learn More →

Primitive Reflexes Explained

The layer underneath meltdowns, focus, posture and sleep that most approaches never check. Free explainer and course.

Does any of this sound like your house?

Most families who find us have already been trying for a long time. What you're seeing every day has a reason, and it's got nothing to do with behaviour or parenting.

You say their name five times before they even look up. Homework most nights ends in tears.
The tiniest thing can tip them over. They hold it together all day at school, then completely fall apart at home.
They know what they want to say but it won't come out. Frustration builds fast.
Certain textures, noises or foods cause genuine distress, not fussiness.
Getting to sleep is a production every night. They wake in the small hours.
Friendships don't come easily. You watch them hovering on the edge of a group.

One method, whatever brought you here.

Autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences and retained reflexes all show up differently on the surface. Underneath, the same nervous system layers are usually involved, so we follow the same sequence every time.

1
Brainstem

Safety first. The nervous system has to come out of survival mode.

A child stuck in fight, flight or shutdown can't learn and can't connect. Most approaches skip this step entirely.

2
Cranial Nerves & Reflex Pathways

Switch off the reflexes that never finished developing.

Retained primitive reflexes quietly drive sensory sensitivity, focus, and difficulty with transitions. Take our free course on primitive reflexes →

3
Cerebellum

Strengthen the bridge between body and brain.

Balance and coordination work connects movement, timing, attention and sensory processing.

4
Cortex

Now focus, communication and flexibility have somewhere to grow from.

Not because your child tried harder, but because the foundation is finally there to support it.

Things parents ask us about who we help.

How do you decide which programme is right for my child? +
On the free 15 minute call, we'll ask about what you're seeing at home and, where relevant, review any assessments you already have. From there we'll tell you honestly which condition page and programme fits best, or whether we think a different kind of support would serve your child better.
My child has more than one of these, autism and sensory issues, or ADHD and reflex delays. Does that matter? +
Not for how we work. These conditions overlap constantly, and our four step method addresses the shared nervous system layer underneath all of them, so there's no need to pick just one label before starting.
Does my child need a diagnosis to work with you? +
No. Many families we work with are still on a waiting list or haven't pursued a formal diagnosis. If you're seeing things that worry you, that's enough to start.

Book a free 15 minute call with Adi & Dana.

No waiting list, no diagnosis needed, and no pressure to commit to anything. Just a straight conversation with two people who've been where you are.
