Medical professionals use the terms ADD and ADHD to describe hyperactivity and deficits in concentration in children. These children are impulsive, cannot sit still, and have difficulty concentrating on lessons at school. They also struggle with social interaction with classmates and other peers. Although medical professionals have been researching the disorder in recent years, they have not yet discovered much. According to researchers, ADHD is a multifactorial disorder that can be influenced by external circumstances. Children with ADS/ADHD have limited learning abilities. Some have problems with reading (dyslexia), others with math (dyscalculia). Concentration is one of the skills these children often lack.

Anne Moeller helps affected parents by offering training programs for their children. Which training program is appropriate for a child depends on the type of ADHD the child has. In the case of ADHD, hyperactivity adds another component that requires treatment. Ms. Moeller uses the so-called Davis® Method. This approach, which has proven successful so far, helps the child recognize their distorted perception. At the same time, it teaches them how to bring this confused way of thinking under their control. Parents can find more information about the Davis® Method at www.talentinum.de.
A concrete perception is a starting point. The next steps build on this and foster a realistic perception. During treatment, Ms. Moeller draws on her knowledge of psychotherapy. In this way, she helps the child achieve the next milestone in treatment. Ms. Moeller is a naturopath and physical therapist. These professions benefit her in her work with children diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. Ms. Moeller determines the right therapy for the child during the initial consultation with the parents and in subsequent sessions attended by both the child and the parents. During the initial consultation, the certified Davis® consultant assesses the child’s diagnosis and medical history.
