NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS
Living with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be extremely challenging and frustrating. ADHD can affect every part of life, from school and work to relationships and self-esteem. Your NeuroRescue Program is designed to help identify the brain systems that may be contributing to your symptoms, with therapies chosen to support how those systems work, and the goal of helping you get back on the path to the life you want to live.
Our care works alongside your physician, psychiatrist, therapist and your child’s school and care team, never in place of them. Please don’t change or stop any medication without talking with your prescriber.
WHAT IS A NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER?
Neurodevelopmental disorders are conditions that affect how the brain develops during childhood, and many continue into adulthood. They can affect movement, learning and thinking, emotions and behavior. They range from mild to severe and can have a major impact on every part of a child’s life. Examples include ADHD, autism, Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders, and learning disorders. Conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and sensory processing challenges often occur alongside them. Because some of the same brain circuits are involved, these conditions often overlap, and many children have more than one.
CONDITION TYPES
Autism | PANDAS | Tics/Tourette Syndrome | ADHD | Sensory Integration Disorders
HOW WE CAN HELP
ADHD involves differences in how brain pathways and systems work, including those involved in working memory, planning and organization (executive function), sensory processing, emotional regulation and the ability to hold back impulses. These include areas of the frontal lobes, basal ganglia, thalamus, limbic system and brainstem. ADHD can also involve pathways that help with movement and thinking control, such as the cerebellum. Research suggests it may even involve the systems that help you make sense of where you are in the world, such as the visual and inner ear pathways. We use computerized testing and a detailed neurological exam to help identify which pathways may be making it harder for you to control attention and focus. We look at the systems that may be involved and create a rehabilitation plan designed for you, with the goal of helping you feel more in control of your ADHD symptoms.

RESEARCH-GUIDED CARE
ADHD research keeps advancing, and new insights into the causes and brain systems involved are published all the time. A number of testing methods and therapies have been studied for improving quality of life for people with ADHD. We use this research to help guide your testing and to design a therapy program aimed at the best possible outcome for you. Results vary from person to person. You can find some of this research here. Learn More
