Seven million U.S. children carry an ADHD diagnosis — 11.4% — and nearly a third receive no treatment at all [1]. Between medication-or-nothing sits a structured, measured middle: exercise, sleep, and cognitive-motor training, coordinated with your pediatrician and school. That's this program's lane — supplemental by design. Free 15-minute call · (214) 730-6463.
MindForge doesn't bill insurance — by design. Direct-pay is what makes an individualized, intensive program possible rather than care shaped by billing codes. HSA/FSA and financing options exist, and a written Good Faith Estimate precedes any commitment.
Our lane, boundaries named: medication decisions stay with your prescriber; behavioral parent training — the AAP's first-line for young children [1] — stays with behavioral specialists, and we'll point you to it. What we add: structured physical-exercise programming (consistently supported for ADHD symptom and executive-function benefit [2]), sleep restoration (the most under-treated lever in pediatric ADHD), cognitive-motor and timing-based training blocks, and FM workup where sleep/metabolic factors load the picture. On neurofeedback: the evidence is mixed, and we say so — where qEEG findings and family preference support a trial, it's offered as exactly that: a measured trial with defined stop rules, never a cure course. Evaluation: Discovery Day — age-normed cognitive/attention battery, sleep and instrument screens, movement testing; parents in the findings room. Programs: individualized — pricing on your free 15-minute call (pediatric blocks typically lighter) + GFE. School coordination included.
Program weeks, day by day: what to expect.
Frequently asked questions
Is this instead of medication?
No — it runs alongside whatever you and your prescriber decide; we don't do medication opinions.
Does exercise really help ADHD?
Structured physical activity has consistent supportive evidence for symptoms and executive function [2] — dose and structure are what programs add.
What about neurofeedback?
Mixed evidence, stated as such — offered only as a measured trial where findings support it.
Do you take insurance?
We're direct-pay, with superbills provided — see ways to pay.
