Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, is a condition that affects millions of children. The common symptoms of ADHD include the inability to maintain focus, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. ADHD is the current term most often used by professionals and parents. This condition was previously known as attention deficit disorder or ADD, but this is now considered an outdated term that few people use.
NeuroMovement® and the 9 Essentials offer a natural approach to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that focuses on your child’s brain and the best conditions for learning. In our 30+ years of experience, we have seen many children diagnosed with ADHD, learning disabilities, and other challenges improve in remarkable ways using this Method.
All children need optimal conditions for learning. NeuroMovement® is a scientifically based, holistic approach that provides your child’s brain with the conditions it needs to learn and acquire skills, despite her or his challenges.
With NeuroMovement and the 9 Essentials, we focus on the power of your child’s brain to learn and grow. As your child begins to experience progress, he or she starts experiencing the natural joy of learning. As failure turns to success, enthusiasm replaces the chronic frustration that a child with ADHD or other learning challenges often experiences.
Changes often begin happening right away and may be quite dramatic. We have seen speech, reasoning, reading and writing, emotional and social functioning, thinking, and coordination all improve.

“My third child was born with a genetic disorder which caused him to have many developmental delays including delayed speech, delayed motor development, ADHD, sensory integration disorders, and a host of learning disabilities both verbal and non verbal. He was in traditional therapy for two years with limited results.”
“For over nine years, his progress has been steady, often bordering on the miraculous. His coordination is now like that of an average normal child his age. He never stops talking, and has a wonderful sense of humor. He is able to think and reason, read and write. He is doing unbelievably well. Anat’s greatest gift to me is that she gave me back my son.”

NeuroMovement® stands apart from traditional therapeutic approaches by focusing on the brain’s inherent learning processes rather than imposing external directives.
Recognising that the brain learns from it’s experiences, which may not align with our intentions, we implement methods that nurture instead of hinder their intentions.
Unlike conventional therapies that often require repetitive practice of limitations, NeuroMovement® avoids asking children or adults to do what they cannot achieve. This means we do not reinforce patterns of failure. Instead, we introduce novelty in gentle, engaging ways that resonate with what the child can already do.
By utilizing the 9 Essentials—key conditions for optimal learning—we align our approach with the natural developmental processes of typically developing children.
NeuroMovement® connects from the inside out, which is especially crucial when working with autistic children. Rather than imposing an external standard for behavior based on age or milestones, we meet children where they are in their understanding of the world.
This respectful approach fosters a deeper connection, allowing them to gain a clearer sense of their surroundings and enhancing their sense of agency.
When children or adults are unable to grasp what is being asked of them, those concepts fail to integrate into their reality, leading to struggles in learning.
By employing gentle movements and the 9 Essentials, we enhance brain function and encourage a heightened awareness of self and environment. As the nervous system stabilizes, children find they have greater capacity to concentrate on meaningful tasks, which can lead to genuinely transformative outcomes.
