ADHD TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN
Personalised, Whole-Child Support for ADHD
If your child is struggling with attention, impulsivity, emotional regulation or learning, you're not alone. Many families come to Brainshape looking for answers that go beyond managing behaviour day to day
Our approach looks at how your child's brain is developing, not just the symptoms on the surface. Using a comprehensive neurodevelopment assessment, we build a program around what's actually driving the attention, learning or behavioural challenges you're seeing - then support your child's development with evidence-informed therapies chosen for their individual profile
Whether your child already has a diagnosis or you're still exploring what's going on, our team is here to guide your family through it.
Understanding ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, movement, behaviour and executive function. Every child experiences ADHD differently, and symptoms can vary depending on their age, temperament and developmental profile. At Brainshape, we believe that understanding the why behind these challenges is the first step towards meaningful, lasting progress. That's why we assess the whole child, not just the diagnosis, to gain a clearer picture of how their brain and nervous system are functioning.
Difficulty maintaining attention & concentration
Difficulty regulating emotions
Impulsivity & acting before thinking
Struggles with planning, organisation or working memory
Hyperactivity or constant movement
Social or behavioural friction
Learning &
academic challenges
Sensory sensitivities
Our Approach to ADHD Treatment
Every child's brain develops differently, which is why no two ADHD treatment plans should be the same. We start with a Functional Neurodevelopment Assessment, then build a program from what we find — combining the therapies most likely to help with attention, emotional regulation, learning and day-to-day functioning. Depending on your child's assessment, that might include:
Functional Neurodevelopmental Assessment
Identifies the neurological factors behind your child's attention, behaviour and learning.
Functional Lab Testing
& Nutritional Intervention
Identifies underlying metabolic, nutritional and immune factors that may impact brain function and developmental progress.
QEEG Brainwave Mapping
Maps brainwave activity to guide the program accurately and track progress over time.
Photobiomodulation
(PBM)
A non-invasive light therapy that supports brain function, used where clinically appropriate.
Emotional Regulation Therapy
Supports nervous system regulation to help build resilience and calmer, more consistent behaviour.
Identifies underlying metabolic, nutritional and immune factors that may impact brain function and developmental progress.
Integrative Chiropractic Assessment
Looks at posture, movement and nervous system function as part of the bigger picture.
