S. Abigail McCarrel : Welcome Home Family Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, DCSW
Children come to my family therapy practice with many forms of neurodivergence. Most of the children in my practice have been diagnoses with ADHD as part of their neuro-uniqueness. In many ways, ADHD, however, is a big of a misnomer. Kiddos with ADHD can pay attention. The challenge is that they pay attention to too many things at one time. ADHD is more accurately characterized a disorder of executive functioning. It represents a delay in the areas of the brain that are responsible for organization, attention, memory, perspective taking, listening, etc. These types of struggles represent a delay in development, which can occur for a variety of reasons. To help a child with ADHD, I work with them to go back and recreate movements from the first year of life, in a slow, prescribed way, that allows their brains to make connections and fill in the gaps in development. This is called primitive reflex integration. When the whole family joins in on these fun, brain-balancing exercises, positive changes can be seen in everyone and the child becomes less stigmatized. This is a win for the whole family.
