Attention Regulation (ADHD)
ADHD is typically defined as a problem with inattentiveness, lack of concentration, hyper-activity, impulsivity or a combination thereof. You may be suffering with ADHD if you find yourself struggling with paying attention, you feel physically fidgety, you impulsively interrupt others, you have a difficult time staying organized, and miss details that can result in careless mistakes. The symptoms and issues that come with ADHD can impact your daily life, your social experience, your ability to learn, organize, and control impulses. The good news is there are ADHD therapy options available.
Most current strategies for addressing these symptoms are behavioral or pharmaceutical. The behavioral approach is a good start, but it relies on the cognitive processes of the cortex, our “thinking brain,” which are often ineffective when it comes to self-regulation and impulse control. Pharmaceuticals are commonly prescribed to children to improve ADHD symptoms, which does not fix underlying problems-which is a disorganized neurological system.
A multi-sensorial approach is the most effective in working at the physiological level. Our modalities and programs require the “thinking brain” to attend while simultaneously ‘exercising’ areas of the lower brain (sub-cortical) and body involved in regulation and information processing.

Our proprietary 5-Step Plan of Care is based on proven protocols, therapeutic activities, with over 20 years and 250,000+ hours of combined clinical practice.
Most importantly, our 5-Step Plan of Care is completely tailored to your unique challenges, needs, and goals.
So you can get the personalized care you (or your child) needs to achieve the outcomes you need.
Brain Harmony Occupational Therapists specialize in delivering the highest levels of outcomes with our therapeutic interventions when compared to traditional therapies such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), pharmaceuticals and brick and mortar therapy centers. We have witnessed children stagnated and regressing in development, who are then able to communicate, perform on standardized testing, make and sustain friendships and attend traditional schools.
Our modalities and home based autism therapy programs are changing the state of the brain and neurological system.
Testimonials & Success Stories
“When David first came to Brain Harmony he was anxious, easily distracted and awkward. He was treated with conventional occupational therapy at a large health system for over two years but had not seen any improvement in handwriting, academics, nor his nervous energy. "He used to be my problem child who struggled in school especially reading and writing. Now he is my A/B honor-roll child who unexpectedly became the quarterback of his flag football team. My son is the self-confident child I always wanted him to be. Thank you, Brain Harmony!" - David's Mother
“Riley is 10 years old diagnosed ADHD. Mom contacted therapist today outside of scheduled appointment to ask how to explain the SSP and Focus program to Riley's teachers, psychologist, and principal as she was going in for a meeting with them today. She reports that Riley has been able to regulate his emotions so much better, he is more reasonable, more calm and sleeping so much better! She reports that the calmness factor was not there before and since starting with BH he is her ‘easy child’.” - Riley’s Mother
The other reason I love Brain Harmony, is that the program has made a dramatic impact in my son’s life, and the life of our family. The program was an absolute game changer for him. I know each child will find different results, but for us the impact was so successful that we had him re-tested after doing the program and he actually no longer qualified for any diagnoses! I will forever be grateful for Brain Harmony and I cannot recommend them enough.” - Karen G.
