Frequently Asked Questions

Retained reflexes are primitive reflexes that should naturally disappear as a child develops but remain active beyond their normal timeframe. These are believed to be the root cause of neurodevelopmental delay and many childhood disorders. They can affect learning, movement, sensory processing, and behavior, manifesting in conditions like ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, autism, and other developmental challenges.

We specialize in treating a wide range of conditions including ADHD, ADD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, Asperger’s syndrome, autism, sensory processing disorder, anxiety, glue ear, and bedwetting. We also help children with everyday challenges like difficulty writing, poor sports performance, fussy eating, fidgeting, and sensory sensitivities such as discomfort with clothing labels.

We use a personalized approach with individually tailored treatment methods based on neural stimulation techniques. These specialized exercises help children and adults overcome developmental difficulties by targeting the root cause of neurodevelopmental delay. Unlike other treatments that address symptoms, we focus on correcting the underlying retained reflexes to achieve lifelong solutions.

Yes, our treatment approach is completely drug-free, effective, and natural. We use neural stimulation techniques and therapeutic exercises rather than medication to address the root causes of developmental challenges. This natural approach helps children develop properly without the side effects associated with pharmaceutical interventions.

Our treatment benefits children and adults with diagnosed conditions like ADHD, autism, or dyslexia, as well as those experiencing everyday challenges that may indicate retained reflexes. If your child struggles with writing, sports, eating, sitting still, or has sensory sensitivities, they may have neurodevelopmental immaturity that we can help address.

The Child Development Centre has over 25 years of experience treating children with developmental disorders and has been a leader in this field in London throughout that time. Our extensive experience allows us to provide expert assessment and treatment for a wide range of neurodevelopmental challenges.

The Child Development Centre is a private clinic based in London, specializing in the treatment of retained reflexes and neurodevelopmental delay. We serve families throughout the London area and beyond who are seeking natural, effective solutions for developmental challenges.

To begin treatment, you can book an initial consultation with us. During this consultation, we will assess your child’s specific needs and determine how we can best help you and your child overcome their developmental challenges through our specialized approach.

Unlike other treatments that focus on managing symptoms, we target the real root cause of neurodevelopmental delay and associated learning difficulties. Our neural stimulation techniques address retained reflexes directly, providing lifelong solutions rather than temporary symptom management. We combine these core interventions with other therapeutic approaches for comprehensive treatment.

Yes, retained reflexes and neurodevelopmental delay affect many children at a low level, even without formal diagnoses. These children often learn to cope with their challenges, but the underlying issues can undermine their overall development and daily functioning. Many everyday difficulties like poor coordination, writing problems, or sensory sensitivities may actually stem from retained reflexes.
