When a child struggles with reading, writing, attention, or emotional regulation, the typical response is often to apply compensations—extra tutoring, behavior charts, or diagnoses like ADHD or dyslexia. While these can help in the short term, they often leave parents wondering why their child is still falling behind despite so much effort.

At BrainTree NeuroGrowth, we believe in digging deeper to uncover and address the underlying causes—not just putting a patch over the symptoms.
One Often-Overlooked Cause: Retained Primitive Reflexes
Primitive reflexes are early movement patterns that should naturally integrate in infancy. When these reflexes persist, they can interfere with a child’s ability to:
Focus and stay organized
Regulate emotions
Sit still in class
Read and write efficiently
Many of the children we work with are intelligent, creative, and eager to succeed—but something invisible is holding them back.
Processing Problems That Fly Under the Radar
Some kids also struggle with visual or auditory processing, making it harder to follow instructions, understand what they’re reading, or keep up in the classroom. Over time, these struggles can lead to:
Emotional meltdowns
Low self-esteem
Behavioral issues
Being misunderstood or labeled
And parents? They’re left feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and desperate for real answers.
Real Answers. Personalized Plans. Hope.
At BrainTree NeuroGrowth, we specialize in personalized neurodevelopmental assessments that uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Because every child’s brain is unique, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
Instead, we design individualized plans that address the brain’s developmental needs—helping kids overcome labels, regain confidence, and thrive.
If your child is struggling—and you’re tired of quick fixes and vague answers—there is hope.
Let’s uncover the root and help your child grow into their full potential.
