WOW ADHD

The ATNR reflex works to separate the two sides of the body vertically.

Notice all of the extra movements with the retained reflex. These are involuntary movements that can be exhausting for our ADHD population. This in turn can lead to dysregulation.

When this reflex is not integrated kids can have difficulties with:

✔️ Crossing midline
✔️ Hand eye coordination
✔️ Eye tracking
✔️ Laterality

All of these factors can make reading and writing very difficult.

So if you want to work on reading and writing, let’s start at the bottom of the pyramid.

The good news is that we can tailor exercises for our WOW kids to integrate their reflexes!

… and we have fun while doing it!

Understanding the WHY behind AHHD changes everything.

It shifts the question of what’s wrong, to what does my child need.

That is where progress begins and parents understand kids do well if they can.

When kids understand the WHY they become closer to self acceptance. Many ADHD kids face correction constantly. At WOW they learn that the brain and body talk. We teach how the ADHD brain works and experiment with tools to help regulate, attend and be their amazing self.

Week 3 was fun!

The kids are getting more comfortable and we are having great discussions. They are getting to know each other and being silly. What more could we ask for!

This week’s topic was EMOTIONS. It is important to have a safe way to label emotions and do check ins. Using a visual representation is preferred as it is easier to process and less intimidating.

No emotion is bad.

Every emotion is valid.

Sometimes our emotions can “sneak” up on us.

Understanding how our body feels gives us signals to understanding our emotions.
