It’s sad how expensive it is makes it out of reach for families struggling with these children
help adults asap
Omg! I felt the dad. I need this! ASAP!
i love it!!! this ligth in the dark place! we wish we can be able to get there to help our child!
Thank you
What suggestions do you have for the average parent who cannot afford this program
Medication. It works and the long term outcomes are so much better than unmedicated ADHD. Because it’s a drug people instantly rush to prejudice and superstition. But in effect it’s like giving eye glasses to a kid with poor sight - long term a way better option.
I went there for an assessment to have my son diagnosed snd they were trying to charge me 11,000 dollars. Is ridiculous overpriced. It’s heart braking
i agree with you thats what happend with my child as well very overpriced
I can’t afford it either….my son has severe adhd.
@@sayyadinawitch my 6 years son he is struggling. What did you do for your son ? I mean have you take him doctor or did he get any treatment please
Ad someone who was diagnosed at 28 with ADHD can confirm that being medicated has been life-changing. I have been an exercise junkie my entire life and that didn't cure it. So wrong to be so anti-medication, very damaging and you should know this.
I wish the U.K. had things like this. The USA seem to take it more seriously
Qigong, Yoga and Kung Fu, I think (my theory) all have a similar effect. Not just these things but anything in which coordination is the goal. I don’t really know to what degree. Maybe worth looking at.
They don’t help us treat it though. It’s expensive and unaffordable for 90% of Americans.
I wish if Kenya had things like this.its so sad for to see my child is not doing well and she's stressed out struggling to get where her mates are,it's affecting me so bafly
this is the best version of treatment
Do plenty of exercises and balancing (this is important) games with your kid and you’ll get the same effect. However it won’t cure ADHD. Please look at the outcomes of ADHD kids that are unmedicated (spoiler- they’re not good).
This is what my great grandson need
While exercise is certainly great for both body and the brain, it's NOT ENOUGH to make up for the Norepinephrine and dopamine imbalance in the ADHD brain. The ADHD brain simply does not produce enough which is the reason for the difficulty to keep still and pay attention over a longer time frame. It's also the reason why children with ADHD often crave sweets and screen time, both known to raise the dopamine levels. Aaaaand it's the reason why medication (stimulants) are prescribed. Because they also increase the levels. So while exercise is really good and should absolutely be encouraged in kids (and adults) with ADHD and may alleviate symptoms, it's most often not enough to actually manage ADHD long term.
Been going to the gym for 10 years and can confirm I still struggle everyday. Exercise really works when I have the opportunity to do it just before I need to focus on something, but if I sit too long I’m fucked lol
I'd try reflexology. If with reflexology and acupuncture points an epilepsy can be stopped, why can't help with attention and hormone levels? Probably reflexology is able to treat the roots of the problem.
The term exercise kinda over simplifies what's being done. Do some digging on Occupational Therapist who specialize in sensory integration. Essentially what's happening here is specific exercises are rewiring the brain so that different parts of the brain can work together and more efficiently.
@@oliviamanning-richardson6677 exactly!
I fully agree.
We need one in Pennsylvania please !!!!
im afraid that I wont afford any facility that can help my son when he will experience struggle at school
I have Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and sensory processing disorder
Practice balancing tasks. Then try with eyes closed. Slack lining or even just hiking in rocky terrain.
Jose Boza sir
You are nice heart humbly man
How can I contact you please?
Emmi Pikler !!!
You are not working with board certified experts but people who were trained through brain balance. It is typically not covered by your insurance, so its not going to be cheap. I would suggest people who are looking into this to find a pediatric occupational therapist.
Anything for adults???
Give your ADHD kids the drugs. My kindergarten went from struggling in math and needing extra attention, to excelling in math and being placed in advanced math.
I’m trying to convince my wife of this now but it’s a uphill battle…movies have convinced ppl that all drugs are bad but some ppl need them especially our son I’m concerned if we procrastinate he gets left back in society cuz some who can’t sit still and listen can not function well in society
ADHD kids who are medicated have better outcomes than ADHD kids that aren’t. It’s as simple as that. Across the board, from mental health, to income, to addiction, to criminality, even dementia is worse in unmedicated ADHD.
If you’re scared of medicating your child because of some small risks, you MUST weigh that up against the risks of NOT medicating. There’s an incredible amount of research that shows that not medicating, when a diagnosis has been made, is really bad for long term outcomes.
The only exception is growth, which is entirely down to appetite. Get your medicated kid on a high calorie (but healthy) diet and that all goes away. Avocados, potatoes, bananas, dates. Just get healthy energy into them and the growth issue disappears.
In Thorndon Great
There is no published research proving this program works. Just letting parents know. They keep citing one "Harvard study" and that is not peer reviewed. I would not get hopes high.
Spoiler. It doesn’t cure ADHD.
I have ADHD I am 9 years old
Why are we not restructuring schooling all kids would benefit from intermediate small exercises.
🙏🏼
This Is Robin From india, I have gone through your video. may i talk to you on regarding ADHD
Do you have a solution?
AHD Oliver Baby
YES YES YES BEER
It's great to see this... I have healed myself as well. Weedborn oils have helped me a lot.
Oh really. What are these oils?
What is weedborn oil ?
The profound narrative of this content is a source of deep wisdom. A similar book I read offered transformative insights and strategies. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
Nothing new...the usual program everywhere...
Would you also ask a diabetic to go witout insulin!
ADHD is a neurological condition and very treatable with neurological medications.
the difference is that one is a condition that will kill you, the other, won't. If you can over come something through mental training and conditioning then that is much better than relying on a drug to do it for you. Naturally it depends on the severity of the ADHD, which is kinda what she said at the very beginning of her interview.
U will die with diabetes and not die with adhd
Insulin is all natural. Adderall is chemical meth.
Sweetheart, I’ve taken the legal and illegal versions of everyyyy stimulant out there. Neither helped my ADHD. From Adderal to Ritalin…from meth to cocaine. Nada 😂
Yeah... No.
I love how three 5 comment
11,000$ pure scam
I don't recommend it.
At Special Strong, we LOVE the special needs population ;) 2 Corinthians 4:8
Good for nothing and a waste of money!
Please stop medicating kids at youths age 😔
We agree! Which is why we support this completely drug free approach to treating children who experience ADHD, making it hard for them to keep on track in their daily lives at times.
You’re entirely wrong. Unmedicated ADHD leads to worse outcomes across the board. Criminality, mental health, suicide, addiction, relationships, income.
You’re completely failing to realise the risks of NOT medicating ADHD. Even dementia was halved in medicated ADHD. Getting ADHD diagnoses then not medicating is akin to a poor eye test then not bothering with eye glasses.
Because the treatment is a drug of abuse people rush to prejudice and superstition. But they work, and not medicating leads to big problems in adulthood. So don’t think that your unmedicated kid is healthier- they almost certainly won’t be. And that goes for mental as well as physical health.
@@JM-yf3olthank you as someone who was diagnosed at 28 with ADHD can confirm that being medicated has been life-changing. I have been an exercise junkie my entire life and that didn't cure it. So wrong to be so anti-medication, very damaging.
