🧠 New ADHD research worth noticing.

A study published in 2025 explored a key limitation in how ADHD is currently diagnosed. Most pathways still rely heavily on questionnaires, interviews, and rating scales. While useful, these tools are subjective, time‑intensive, and can vary widely depending on context and reporter.

This research used EEG data combined with machine‑learning techniques to support ADHD identification.

• A Random Forest model achieved 92.36% diagnostic accuracy.
• Strong precision, recall, and overall classification performance.
• The model reliably distinguished ADHD from control participants using brain‑based data.

The Australian diagnostic environment is under strain. Long waitlists, limited specialist access, and increasing scrutiny around ADHD diagnoses place pressure on clinicians, families, and available interventions.

Objective neurophysiological data may help strengthen ADHD assessment, rather than relying on behaviour reports alone. When considered alongside the Arns, Gunkelman, Breteler, & Spronk (2008) research into EEG predictors of medication outcomes it could point to a much faster process with greater first response and a reduced need for reviews.

This is not about replacing clinical judgment, but about giving clinicians better information to work with, and most importantly improving access and outcomes for those that need it.

As children around the state return to school there will be a mixture of excitement and tears - from children ad parents alike.

Help your child regulate by holding their hand, rubbing their back, giving them cuddles. The best teaching method for regulation is to have physical contact whilst you model regulation. Even better if a sibling or friend can support them in the same way.

And don't forget children will be exhausted after school - that's when the emotions can emerge. Support and validate the emotions, coach the behaviours that require it.

Have a great first day back!!!

Neuromodulation refers to ways of influencing how the nervous system functions using chemical, electrical, light, or magnetic inputs. These approaches aim to shift brain and nervous system activity to support better functioning.

• Chemical neuromodulation includes substances that affect brain activity, such as foods, nutrients, and medications.
• Magnetic neuromodulation uses magnetic fields to influence neural activity, for example Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) or pEMF stimulation.
• Electrical neuromodulation uses electrical signals and can be invasive, such as vagal nerve implants or ECT, or non-invasive, such as external vagal nerve stimulators, and tDCS or tACS stimulation.
• Photobiomodulation (light) uses light of different wave-lengths and strengths to promote inflammation reduction, improve healing, and support changes in the nervous system.

In our clinic, we use neurofeedback or non-invasive tDCS and tACS stimulation to support symptom reduction and help the brain move toward more balanced and efficient patterns of activity.

Children learn from parents. What we do, what we say, how we respond, and where we place our priorities.

Some things to consider:
- What messages do we send with our own device use?
- How do we regulate our emotions in front of them?
- What do we allow them to help us do when they are young, and what do we tell them they cannot do?
- Do we prioritise our own health?
- How much do we prioritise time with them?
- Do we demonstrate good communication skills?

The most important question is: What do we want them to learn from us?

If life were like a game, what skills and stats are you raising?

Reading and study not only builds a skill but activates a buff on the mind.

This buff strengthens attention, memory, and the ability to think ahead.
Over time, these gains quietly increase INT (intelligence) and WIS (wisdom), while also supporting MP (mental health) through improved emotional regulation and problem solving. And as you engage different topics new skills can be unlocked.

IRL there is no notification to highlight skill improvements or level ups.
Instead, the stat gains build slowly often unnoticed.

As these stats increase, it becomes easier to manage stress, adapt to challenges, and apply skills across different areas of life. Skills unlocked through learning remain available long after the task is finished.

Drawing, music, coding, languages, math, or sciences. What skills are you building through repeated practice?

If life were like a game, what skills and stats are you raising?

Physical activity activates a broad buff across both body and mind.
Movement improves strength, coordination, and stamina, while also supporting emotional regulation and stress recovery. This would raise STR, DEX, STA, HP, MP, CHA, and improve the skill level.

IRL there is no visible progress bar for these effects. The gains accumulate in the background, making the reward difficult to notice at times.

As your stats improve, your brain becomes better equipped to handle pressure, social interaction, and overcome challenges. Skills developed through movement often transfer into other areas of life.

Consistent play keeps the buff active.

What activity makes you feel like you've received a buff?

If life were like a game, what skills and stats are you raising?

Imagine every action you take influences your skills and stats.
- Being kind and respectful can raise your charisma and MP (mental health).
- Being active raises your strength, stamina, dexterity, HP and provides skills.
- Doing your homework and reading books builds your wisdom, intelligence, luck, MP, and can provide skills.
- Scrolling social media reduces your MP, intelligence, strength, stamina max, wisdom, and charisma. It provides status debuffs. Many video games and binging tv shows can do the same.

The more time you spend in each activity the greater the impact to stats and skills.

Now what stats are you going to raise tomorrow? What skills would level up if you spent as much time practicing them as you do on devices?

The brain is not a machine, yet it sometimes acts like one. When pressure builds, systems slow down, focus drifts, and performance drops.

Neurotherapy helps the brain regain its efficiency so attention feels sharper, stress feels lighter, and thinking becomes clearer.

Whether you are preparing for a major sporting event, studying for exams, or navigating demanding corporate deadlines, a bit of maintenance can make a big difference.

Just as coaching helps children improve in sport or music, some need coaching for the skills inside the brain.

Neurotherapy does not work from labels. Instead, we look at disruptions in the functional areas that shape attention, mood, emotional regulation, anxiety, reactivity, and decision making. When the disruptions are reduced and the pathways are strengthened, children can learn skills that once felt challenging.

Skills grow when the right systems are supported, including nudging neuroplasticity into action.

Another comment I regularly hear from clients, especially about their children, is that the changes from Neurotherapy can seem small at first.

A slight increase in capacity in the classroom often means less overwhelm, fewer after-school meltdowns, and improved engagement. With better engagement comes confidence, and confidence accelerates progress.

Better sleep supports reduced irritability, clearer communication, and a greater ability to regulate through the day.

Less sensory overwhelm allows more information to be processed and reduces discomfort. This frees up energy for social skills, attention, and learning.

Anxiety, attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, overwhelm, or sensory difficulties. Sometimes the brain just needs support in the right direction, and a few small shifts can create space for big leaps.

If you would like to explore how this support might look for your child, feel free to reach out.

A month where exams wrap up, results arrive, school winds down, shopping centre's get hectic, and frustrations can build faster than we realise.

With the silly season well underway, let’s keep our wits about us and channel any misadventures into the elf-on-the-shelf antics, not onto the roads.

Take care of yourselves and each other as we move into this busy time of year.
