Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ADHD and a learning difficulty?
ADHD primarily affects executive function skills such as sustained attention, impulse inhibition, and working memory across settings. Specific learning difficulties (like dyslexia or dyscalculia) specifically affect the processing of language, reading fluency, or mathematical reasoning.
How can parent guidance help my child who is falling behind in school?
We analyze your child's learning profile, unpack homework resistance, identify cognitive fatigue and dopamine depletion, and build customized visual routines and classroom accommodations to advocate for with teachers.
Can you advise on school accommodations and IEPs?
Yes. We help parents draft concrete, realistic classroom accommodation requests including extra time, chunked assignments, multisensory instructions, and reduced homework volume.
