Evidence-based behavior therapy, sensory integration & parent strategies for hyperactive children and ADHD — transforming school performance and home life
A non-medication-first approach that builds self-regulation from the inside out.
We conduct a detailed behavioral assessment using structured parent and teacher questionnaires, direct observation, and attention task assessment. This gives us an accurate picture of the ADHD subtype (inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined) and severity.
Using structured cognitive activities, we directly train the executive functions most affected by ADHD — working memory, inhibition, planning, and cognitive flexibility. These are the "brain muscles" that improve with practice.
Most hyperactive children have a sensory-seeking nervous system that craves movement and stimulation. Targeted sensory diet activities — proprioceptive and vestibular input — satisfy this need in controlled ways, dramatically improving classroom sitting and attention.
We design a clear, consistent behavior management system for home and school — visual schedules, reward systems, token economies, and calm-down protocols. Consistency across environments is essential.
Parenting a child with ADHD requires specific strategies that most parents were never taught. We provide practical, evidence-based ADHD parenting skills training that reduces daily conflict and builds your relationship.
We communicate directly with teachers, providing classroom accommodation recommendations — preferential seating, movement breaks, chunked instructions, and assessment modifications — to help your child succeed in school.
Better focus, task completion, and homework compliance. Children who were failing classes begin to demonstrate their true academic ability.
When parents have ADHD-specific strategies and children have better self-regulation skills, daily battles over homework, mealtimes, and bedtime reduce dramatically.
As impulse control improves, children become better at sharing, waiting, and social interaction — friendships that were difficult before become possible.
Children learn to understand their own brain, identify when they are dysregulated, and use self-regulation strategies independently — a life skill that lasts forever.
Vivaan's school was recommending retention. Cognitive testing showed above-average intelligence but he could not complete written tests and was disruptive in class. Three teachers had requested he be removed.
We designed a combined programme: sensory diet (heavy work programme before school), behavior management system at home, executive function training 2x weekly, and detailed school accommodation plan. Parents received 6 coaching sessions.
Within one academic term, Vivaan went from failing to average grades. School removed the retention recommendation. Two years later, he is in the top third of his class and participates in the school quiz team.
Medication is one tool, not the only tool. At Kocoon Junior, we always begin with behavioral, sensory, and parent-coaching interventions. Many children show significant improvement without medication. We work alongside your paediatrician if medication is also prescribed, but we are not the team that prescribes it.
ADHD is a clinical diagnosis made by a qualified professional — a developmental paediatrician, child psychiatrist, or clinical psychologist. Teacher observations are valuable data but are not a diagnosis. Come to us for a thorough behavioral assessment that will help clarify the picture.
Yes. ADHD-Inattentive type (previously called ADD) is equally valid and equally impactful — especially in girls, where it is dramatically under-diagnosed. Daydreaming, forgetting, difficulty completing tasks, and poor organisation without hyperactivity are classic presentations.
Research shows that reducing sugar, artificial additives, and screen time can reduce ADHD symptom severity in some children. We discuss nutritional and environmental factors as part of our family coaching — but these are supportive measures, not replacements for proper intervention.
ADHD is a lifelong neurological profile. However, with the right skills and strategies, many adolescents and adults with ADHD function extremely well — often using their energy, creativity, and hyperfocus as significant strengths. Our job is to give your child those skills.
