We’ll dive into the role primitive reflexes play in development, how they can impact attention, behaviour, and learning, and explore strategies to address these challenges at the root. Gain a deeper understanding of your child’s behaviour and discover practical tools to help them thrive, whether the issue is ADHD or retained reflexes.

Specific in depth evaluation of certain functions affecting the total person.

Specific evaluation for a single aspect of dysfunction

Developmental milestones screening evaluates a child's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development to ensure they are meeting key age-appropriate skills. It helps identify any delays or challenges early on, allowing for timely support and interventions tailored to each child's needs.

Developmental Milestones Screening

Specific evaluation for dysfunction involving the whole body

An initial evaluation consists of a parents questionnaire, a 1-2 hour long face-to-face assessment with your child, and a written report.
Once the report is complete, I will be in touch to arrange a feedback session.
