Title: Understanding ADHD and How Craniaa Supports Children with ADHD and Autism:
by Goshi Consultant Neurological Rehabilitation Specialist
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting millions of people worldwide. It is marked by difficulties with attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity, all of which can influence learning, behaviour, and daily functioning. Understanding ADHD requires exploring multiple dimensions: genetics, neurobiology, and environmental influences.
Genetic and Neurobiological Foundations of ADHD
ADHD has a strong hereditary component. Genes involved in neurotransmitter regulation and brain development contribute significantly to how the condition emerges. Neuroimaging studies also show differences in brain structure and functioning in areas responsible for executive skills, behaviour regulation and sustained attention.
Environmental & Prenatal Factors
Environmental elements also contribute to the risk of ADHD. Exposure to harmful substances during pregnancy—such as to***co smoke, alcohol, or certain toxins—premature birth, and other prenatal complications are known risk factors. ADHD usually begins in childhood and may continue into adult life. Its effects extend beyond restlessness; it influences learning, emotional regulation, work performance and social behaviour. Continuous scientific progress is expanding our understanding and shaping more effective treatments and support systems.
The Importance of Maternal Health and Emotional Wellbeing:
A vital yet often overlooked aspect of a child's healthy development is the health and happiness of the mother. During pregnancy, a mother’s time, emotional balance, stress levels, and attitude form the foundation for the baby’s wellbeing. Just like sowing a seed requires care and nourishment, a healthy and happy mother nurtures a healthier and happier child. Positive maternal mental health (MMH) supports healthy brain development, emotional stability and overall growth
Comparison with Autism & ADHD Treatments at Craniaa Neurological Rehabilitation Centre
Craniaa Neurological Rehabilitation Centre provides specialised, science-based interventions for children and adults with neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD, and integrates both neurobiological knowledge and advanced therapeutic technologies.
1. Multidimensional Understanding vs. Craniaa’s Holistic Approach
Just as ADHD requires a multilayered understanding of genetic, neurological and environmental factors, Craniaa adopts a holistic neurorehabilitation model.
At Craniaa, autism and ADHD are viewed not merely as behavioural conditions, but as disorders influenced by:
Brain connectivity
Sensory processing patterns
Motor and cognitive development
Environmental interactions
Genetic and developmental factors
This aligns with the scientific principles discussed in ADHD research but extends them into practical, clinic-based solutions.
2. Advanced Neurorehabilitation Techniques at Craniaa
Craniaa combines conventional therapy with innovative technologies to improve brain function, neural plasticity and cognitive–behavioural outcomes. Some approaches include:
For ADHD
Cortical retraining and executive-function training
To improve attention, planning and impulse control.
Robotic hand-re-education and fine motor training
Enhances focus, sensorimotor coordination and task persistence.
TMS/TBS (when applicable)
For modulating neural circuits linked to attention networks.
Photobiomodulation using low-level level laser energy wave length 960nm to 1070nm
Behavioural and Cognitive Modification Programs
Tailored to reduce impulsivity and improve self-regulation.
Sensory Integration Therapy
Helps children who are sensory-seeking or easily overstimulated.
For Autism
Neurosensory integration and proprioceptive training
Supports emotional regulation, communication and adaptive behaviour.
Spider cage therapy and gait training
Improves postural control, motor planning and balance.
Speech–language stimulation, adopting Tounge retraction and stretching therapy (New approache) AAC support and social-skills development
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Used to enhance neural recovery in children with genetic or developmental disorders.
AI-assisted behavioural tracking and autism-intensity assessment
Currently one of the modern innovations initiated by Craniaa.
3. Individualized Treatment Plans*
While general ADHD literature emphasizes diagnosis and medical management, Craniaa provides:
1.Personalized neurological rehabilitation plans
2. Daily functional training to improve home, school and social performance:
3.Family coaching and parental guidance for long-term support
This ensures that children and adults receive treatment aligned with their specific neurobiological profile, rather than a generic management plan.
4. Focus on Functional Independence
Research on ADHD highlights impairments in daily life.
Craniaa directly addresses these by focusing on:
Improved attention span
Better classroom engagement
Enhanced self-care skills
Improved communication and social interaction
Better motor coordination and behaviour regulation
The centre’s motto, “We get you better for tomorrow’s living,” reflects this focus on functional improvement.
In Summary
While ADHD research describes the underlying causes and symptoms, Craniaa Neurological Rehabilitation Centre translates this scientific knowledge into practical, advanced and child-focused interventions for both ADHD and Autism.
Through neuroplasticity-based therapies, cutting-edge technology and personalised care, Craniaa offers a comprehensive and effective approach that supports long-term development and independence for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders.
