Homework ends in tears everyday : Does your child melt down during homework time? Refuse to sit? Cry or throw tantrums?
Hi I am Archana Raman a uk trained occupa therapist and I help children and adults for over twenty years .
For kids with ADHD, tasks that require mental effort can feel overwhelming.
Through OT, we break tasks into manageable steps, build executive functioning, and use sensory tools to reduce overwhelm.
With strategies like timers, break cards, and movement breaks — your child can succeed without stress.
Homework doesn’t have to be a battle. OT can make it easier for both you and your child.”

My child cannot sit still for five minutes :
Parents often tell me, ‘My child is always on the move — climbing, fidgeting, rolling!’
This could be a sign of sensory-seeking behavior linked to ADHD.
Hi I am Archana Raman a uk trained occupational therapist and I have been helping kids with ADHD with their daily functioning problems .
In OT, we use what’s called a sensory diet — carefully planned movement activities to help your child feel calm and focused.
Trampoline jumps, animal walks, wall push-ups — all these can help organize the brain and body.
Movement isn’t bad — it’s communication. Let us help your child move with purpose

Why is my child always distracted ?

01/07/2025

Is your child overly sensitive to everyday sounds?
Do they cover their ears at the sound of a mixer, vacuum cleaner, or loud music?

I provide specialized support for children with auditory hypersensitivity—helping them feel safe, calm, and confident in noisy environments. Through gentle sensory integration strategies and personalized therapy, we can reduce sound-related distress and improve daily functioning.

A.D.H.D Poem!! Author beautifully communicated the challenges of ADHD!!!

“Take my hand and come with me,
I want to teach you about ADHD.
I need you to know, I want to explain,
I have a very different brain.
Sights, sounds, and thoughts collide.
What to do first? I can't decide.
Please understand I'm not to blame,
I just can't process things the same.
Take my hand and walk with me,
Let me show you about ADHD.

I try to behave, I want to be good,
But I sometimes forget to do as I should.
Walk with me and wear my shoes,
You'll see its not the way I'd choose.
I do know what I'm supposed to do,
But my brain is slow getting the message through.
Take my hand and talk with me,
I want to tell you about ADHD.

I rarely think before I talk,
I often run when I should walk.
It's hard to get my school work done,
My thoughts are outside having fun.
I never know just where to start,
I think with my feelings and see with my heart.
Take my hand and stand by me,
I need you to know about ADHD.

It's hard to explain but I want you to know,
I can't help letting my feelings show.
Sometimes I'm angry, jealous, or sad.
I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and mad.
I can't concentrate and I lose all my stuff.
I try really hard but it's never enough.
Take my hand and learn with me,
We need to know more about ADHD.

I worry a lot about getting things wrong,
Everything I do takes twice as long.
Everyday is exhausting for me...
Looking through the fog of ADHD.

I'm often so misunderstood,
I would change in a heartbeat if I could.
Take my hand and listen to me,
I want to share a secret about ADHD.

I want you to know there is more to me.
I'm not defined by it, you see.
I'm sensitive, kind and lots of fun.
I'm blamed for things I haven't done.
I'm the loyalist friend you'll ever know,
I just need a chance to let it show.
Take my hand and look at me,
Just forget about the ADHD.

I have real feelings just like you.
The love in my heart is just as true.
I may have a brain that can never rest,
But please understand I'm trying my best.
I want you to know, I need you to see,
I'm more than the label, I am still me!!!!”
