My Program
The OTher Side of Play's ADHD Solutions is an evidenced-based 8-week program designed to help you understand ADHD and how to manage it for long term success. I work with children, adolescents, teenagers and parents so that the whole family has a better grasp on the management of ADHD symptoms. I'm sure that some of you are here because it seems like nothing you've tried has really helped. It can all become overwhelming. ADHD Solutions will help you one week, one lesson at a time. Each week, we'll meet and delve into topics ranging from the biology of ADHD to establishing practical daily routines. During our weekly meetings, I will personalize information to meet your needs and will be available for any questions that arise. My goal is to equip you with the knowledge and skills your child needs to thrive with ADHD, to work with it rather than against it and to help your family restore joy. Payment can be broken into 3 monthly installments, or paid via third party payers. Take a closer look at my programs Modules below!
Module 1 / Week 1
Brain Anatomy
Week one of my course consist of two lessons to help gain understanding of the brain and how it isn’t operating as well with executive functioning and pre-frontal cortex development (or lack thereof ). The second lesson will focus on neurotransmitters of the brain. This will also help parents and the child to learn about the importance of dopamine, and how the imbalance of neurotransmitters affects their behavior.
Module 2 / Week 2
Visual System and Primitive Reflexes
Week two focusses on understanding the importance of the Visual System and Primitive Reflexes and improve visual function. You will learn about visual memory and visual motor skills and how it impacts behavior, school, and everyday performance. We will also work together to assess and pinpoint what primitive reflexes have been retained (if any) and which reflexes need to be better integrated.
Module 3 / Week 3
Sensory System
Week three we will learn about sensory modulation and regulation. We will establish a personalized sensory diet to regulate mood and behavior by decreasing anxiety, tantrums/aggression, regulating anger, and improving frustration tolerance.
Module 4 / Week 4
Environmental Factors
Week three we will focus on sleeping habits, diet, and exercise. Helping the parent and child to better understand the science and benefits of exercise on the brain, design an appropriate sleep schedule for the child's age, and learn about the benefits/risks of certain foods while learning the most nutritious foods for improved attention and regulation.
