ADHD and Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity can affect everyone in the household in different ways. At Harbord Homeopathic Clinic, we are here to support you and your family.
Neurodiversity is the natural variation in human brain functioning and cognitive styles, encompassing differences in learning, attention, mood, sociability, and other mental processes. It recognizes conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and Tourette’s. The neurodiversity perspective emphasises that these differences can bring both challenges and unique strengths, and that society benefits when environments are designed to be inclusive and supportive of all neurological profiles.
Homeopathy for ADHD and neurodiversity
In Australia, ASD is helped by several different styles of homeopathy. For the parents of children with autism, homeopathy offers an increasing body of literature about using it.
Using a natural medicine approach, at our clinic we provide a service which is supportive of the parents and non-judgemental of the child. Homeopathic treatment is used in conjunction with any already existing therapy such as ABA, speech therapy and occupational therapy. Parents are not asked to discontinue their existing plan. Instead Homeopathic treatment for autism is used to encourage steady movement along the path towards recovery with many varied “two steps forward and one step back.”
Tics, Tourettes and ADHD
Common remedies like Stramonium, Hyoscyamus, and Cuprum metallicum are often considered for managing involuntary tics, restlessness, and behavioral imbalances. While homeopathy does not claim to cure the condition, some patients report reduced tic frequency and improved emotional regulation.
IV Therapy for ADHD and neurodiversity
Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy has gained attention for its potential benefits in managing depression and anxiety. By delivering vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, this method ensures higher bioavailability than oral supplements, which can be metabolized differently. Vitamins such as B-complex, vitamin C, and magnesium play crucial roles in brain health and neurotransmitter function. For instance, deficiencies in these nutrients can exacerbate mood disorders, and replenishing them through IV therapy may help improve energy levels, stabilize mood, and enhance overall mental well-being.
Furthermore, IV vitamin therapy can serve as an adjunct to traditional mental health treatments. Patients often report feeling an immediate sense of relief and improved clarity after sessions, which can be particularly beneficial during acute episodes of anxiety or depressive symptoms. While research is still evolving, some studies suggest that the combination of essential nutrients delivered through IV therapy can reduce inflammation, a factor linked to mood disorders, and support the body’s stress response. This holistic approach, alongside conventional therapy and medication, may provide a more comprehensive strategy for individuals seeking relief from their mental health challenges

Naturopathy for ADHD and neurodiversity
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other forms of neurodivergence present unique challenges, both for individuals and their families. Detoxification is often required and can include dietary changes, supplements and homeopathy in order support the body’s natural elimination processes. Individuals with mutations in the MTHFR gene, determined through genetic testing, may have impaired methylation. This leads to elevated homocysteine levels which in some individuals can be lowered through B6 and B12 supplementation. Helping methylation can improve cognitive and behavioral problems often seen in ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions
Bioresonance for ADHD and neurodiversity
A gentle, non-invasive modality that supports individuals with neurodiversity by addressing energetic imbalances within the body. This approach combines the principles of homeopathy with bioresonance technology, which detects and harmonises energetic frequencies. For individuals with conditions such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and sensory processing sensitivities, bioresonance homeopathy may offer support by promoting relaxation, improving focus, and enhancing overall emotional regulation. Rather than targeting symptoms directly, it aims to restore energetic balance, which may contribute to improved wellbeing and greater resilience to environmental stressors. This individualized therapy is tailored to the unique energetic profile of each person, making it particularly suitable for the diverse needs of neurodivergent individuals

Freedom in movement play therapy and ADHD
This is a program designed to develop a child’s faculty to learn, by working through movement and integration of the senses.
The aim is to improve the integration of primitive reflexes and neural pathways related to academic performance and social skills.
By doing so, the program helps the development of fine and gross motor skills, as well as cognitive systems.
This holistic neurodevelopment approach is based on Rudolf Steiner philosophy (Anthroposophy).
Benefits from this approach:
- Gross and fine motor coordination
- Long and short-term memory
- Concentration and attention
- Handwriting
- Hand-eye coordination
- Reading
- Speech
- Orientation in space
- Reduced fidgety and/or clumsy behaviour
