The benefits of exercise for children with ADHD and SPD cannot be overstated. 🧠💪 Physical activity improves cognitive function, boosts mood, and can help manage anxiety. Dr. John J. Ratey’s groundbreaking book “Spark” presents compelling research on how exercise can be as effective as medication for some children with ADHD. Here are some ways to incorporate more movement into your child’s routine: -Start the day with exercise. This improves cognitive function and emotional balance. 🏃♀️🧘♂️ -Look for opportunities for movement throughout the day.

Create a Personalized Study Space for Better Focus 🎯🖍️ A well-organized, distraction-free study space can help children with ADHD and SPD stay focused and productive. Here are some tips to tailor the space to your child’s unique needs:
 1. Pick Their Perfect Spot: Involve your child in choosing their study area. A quiet, low-traffic corner of the house works best, but let them decide where they feel most comfortable. 🏡✨ 2. Add Comfort Elements: Make sure the chair and desk are ergonomic, and consider adding a cushion or footrest for extra comfort. Some kids might even benefit from a fidget tool or sensory item to help them stay calm and focused. 🪑🧸 3. Visual Organization: Use trays, bins, or small baskets to keep all their supplies in one place. Clear containers with labels can help them easily find what they need, preventing unnecessary distractions. 🗂️🎨 4. Custom Lighting: Let your child experiment with different lighting. Some may prefer natural light, while others might focus better under a soft desk lamp. Test what works best! 💡🌞 5. Focus-Friendly Sounds: If silence is unsettling, try instrumental music or a white noise machine to create a calming background that promotes concentration. 🎧🎶
 With a space that fits their personal preferences, your child will feel more comfortable and ready to focus on their studies! 🎓✨ #connectchiropracticwi #adhd #spd #backtoschool #adhdmom #studyspace

Many children with ADHD and SPD are highly sensitive to their environment. Creating a dedicated, distraction-free space for homework and studying can make a world of difference. 📚🌿 Here’s how to set it up: -Choose a quiet area away from high-traffic parts of the house. 🤫 -Ensure the space is well-lit, either with natural light or a good desk lamp. 💡 -Stock the area with all necessary supplies. This reduces the need for your child to get up and potentially get distracted. ✏️🗒️ -If silence is too distracting, try white noise or instrumental music to help with focus. 🎵 Source: https://lnkd.in/ggqY7dU8 #connectchiropracticwi #adhd #spd #backtoschool #adhdmom #studyspace

Meet one of our newest doctors, Dr. Austin! 🌟 Dr. Austin grew up very active and involved in basketball, baseball, and golf. 🏀⚾️⛳️ Growing up, he was helped greatly by a chiropractor when he grew six inches in one year. He began to struggle with growing pains and anxiety during this time. Because of the help that he got from seeing a chiropractor, Dr. Austin knew he wanted to be that source of help for others that were struggling. Dr. Austin attended Ripon College for his undergraduate degree where he majored in Business Management with a minor in Biology where he enjoyed the study of fungi and the health benefits that we are still learning about today. After, he went on to Chiropractic school at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. While in school, one of his favorite parts was seeing his first ever patients and hearing their testimonials of how he helped them find relief and overcome their challenges. 🌱 A fun fact about Dr. Austin is that he has a passion for music and was the lead in 6 different musicals! In his free time, he loves hanging out with his dog and cats at home. 🎶🐕🐈 #conectchiropracticwi #chiropracticadjustment #newdoctor

This reduces morning stress and teaches valuable organizational skills. 🎒📚 -Implement color-coded systems. 🌈 -Create checklists for routines.
