Transforming Henry's World with Neurodevelopmental Therapies
How can you transform your child’s world with neurodevelopmental therapies?
Henry's journey with The Key Clinic has been a transformative experience, marked by significant milestones and profound improvements in his neurodevelopmental and auditory capabilities. After finishing his last neuro assessment and auditory therapy in April '23, Henry has shown amazing changes.
A Foundation for Growth
Lucy Law, Henry's mother, shares, "The Key Clinic has given my son the foundations that he was missing. With this in mind additionally, to the tools that he has been given his balance, self-awareness, control have very much improved and will go on improving.
His hypersensitivity has also diminished both with his body and hearing. A much more confident and happier child. Bringing a content and calmer family."
Notable Symptomatic Improvements
The detailed final report highlights several significant improvements in Henry's condition:
Coordination and Balance: Henry showed remarkable progress in his static and dynamic balance assessments. This new coordination helped him to master surfing during a family trip to the U.S. in August 2023. He was able to put his head back and maintain balance on the board. These were skills he could not achieve before because of his condition.
Reduced Sensitivity: Previously, Henry couldn't tolerate any touch on his back, hindering his ability to participate in certain exercises. By the final assessment, his tactile sensitivity had decreased significantly, allowing a paintbrush to run along his back without causing distress. This reduction in hypersensitivity has broadened his ability to engage in various activities comfortably.
Confidence and Academic Success: Henry's confidence has soared, as evidenced by his conversational ease and willingness to follow instructions during assessments and therapy sessions. His academic achievements have followed suit, with notable improvements leading to good grades and an art award. His mother also reported that Henry's central nervous system had calmed down, further contributing to his overall well-being.
Physical Strength and Flexibility: Diagnosed with ADHD in October 2023, Henry has become physically stronger and more flexible, showcasing his ability to adapt and excel despite challenges. His academic journey was adjusted to better suit his needs, resulting in improved performance in Latin, Science, and English.
Continuous Growth and Development
By January 2024, Henry's parents observed notable advancements in his physical abilities, such as running and jumping. His final assessment in February 2024 revealed further progress: better cursive writing, significantly improved academic marks, and enhanced behaviour around work. Henry's school experience has also improved, with fewer impulses leading to a record free of detentions or sanctions. His ability in sports, coordination, and physical education, despite not being his favourite activities, has improved as well.
Significantly, Henry's journey at The Key Clinic highlighted the importance of comprehensive support systems, including family and educational institutions, in helping a child's development.
Despite the initial reluctance and tiredness from the therapy exercises, Henry's perseverance, coupled with the dedicated support from his parents and teachers, led to a successful outcome. Furthermore, this is part of the wider support for parents of children with ADHD that the Key Clinic offers.
Looking Ahead with Neurodevelopmental Therapies
While Henry has made substantial progress, there remain areas for further development, including writing, sporting ability, frustration management, confidence, and anxiety. Yet, with the ongoing support of his family and teachers, Henry's journey is a testament to the potential for transformation through targeted therapy and intervention.
