Attention & Focus
•
Before we met, this dude was having a really hard time staying on track & finishing tasks. It was frustrating 😤… for him, his parents, and his teachers. It was disrupting life. But, his parents knew there was more to the equation, & that there had to be more options than just meds 💊. So, they sought out care in our office among a few other places.

Now, when talking about attention & focus, whether ADHD or not, we believe it’s imperative to start with this question:
What is actually happening in the brain 🧠? (Let me ask, if your kiddo is struggling with focus, has anyone asked or answered that for you?)
•
It’s the brain that controls & regulates our ability to focus, or not. Many approaches to care ‘focus’ (😂🤦🏻♂️) on the outward expressions or symptoms as the problem. But when it comes to most focus & attention struggles, the brain is actually just responding to the quality of input it is perceiving from the world around it.

We’ve found that in the majority of cases we’ve seen & helped like this, that the kiddos have imbalances in their nervous system stemming from some form of movement concerns (ie primitive reflexes, spinal tension, proprioceptive deficit, etc.). And, when that’s the case, maybe it’s not that kiddos can’t focus on one thing, but that they’re trying to focus on everything simultaneously?
