Is your child bright but still struggling at school?
It might not be about how hard they try — but how their brain processes information.

With BrainRx, we don’t tutor symptoms. We train the brain.

✅ Struggles with reading, maths, attention, or memory?
✅ Frustrated with school despite effort and support?
✅ Falling behind even though they’re intelligent?

We identify and strengthen the cognitive skills that make learning easier — and the results are life-changing.

📈 Backed by neuroscience, BrainRx helps children and adults:
🔹 Boost focus
🔹 Improve memory
🔹 Sharpen processing speed
🔹 Build confidence and independence

🧬 Real change happens when we train the brain at the root level.

Could it be PDA?
Some kids don’t just resist instructions — they panic in the face of them. That’s not bad behaviour. That’s a PDA profile.

PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance now known as Persistent Drive for Autonomy) is a profile on the autism spectrum. Kids with PDA often:
✅ Avoid everyday demands, even fun ones
✅ Use social strategies to escape expectations
✅ Have intense need for autonomy
✅ Appear controlling or defiant, but feel overwhelmed

These children aren’t being difficult — they’re trying to survive a world that feels too demanding.

💛 At Flourish Counselling, we support PDAers by reducing demands, increasing collaboration, and finding gentle ways in.

💬 Ever suspected PDA in your child or student?

Neurodiverse Kid Logic:
You said, “Go brush your teeth.”
They heard: “Go explore the bathroom dimension and return with loot.” 🧼🧷💦

✨ Try this instead:
“Let’s see how fast you can grab your toothbrush!” 🪥💨
Break it down. Make it fun. One tiny mission at a time.

Parenting a neurodiverse child isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing it differently.

What is Neurodiversity?🧠✨
Neurodiversity is the idea that brain differences are normal — not deficits. ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurological variations aren’t problems to be "fixed."

Think of the brain like a garden — some grow wildflowers, others grow herbs or trees. Different environments, different needs, but all valuable. 🌿🌻🌲

At Flourish Counselling, we affirm the unique way each brain works and help children and families thrive in their ecosystem.

Have you heard the term "neurodiversity" before? What does it mean to you?
