Treatment library
Treatments and therapies, explained honestly
Clear explainers on the treatments families encounter in paediatric neurology and development — what they are, what they are used for, and what the evidence actually shows, including which options are established and which are experimental. Each page is educational and never replaces your treating clinician. This library will keep growing.
Regenerative and experimental therapies
Cooling, CBD, stem cells and exosomes, brain stimulation, light and peptides — what is genuinely evidence-based, what is investigational, and what to be wary of.
Learn more Dietary therapyDietary therapies (ketogenic and related diets)
Medical diets — ketogenic, modified Atkins and low-glycaemic-index — are powerful, evidence-based treatments for drug-resistant epilepsy; others, like gluten-free, are more limited.
Learn more MedicinesAntiseizure (antiepileptic) medicines — principles and cautions
How seizure medicines are chosen in children, the general rules, and the crucial syndrome-specific cautions — including medicines that can make certain epilepsies worse.
Learn more MedicinesPaediatric psychiatric medicines
Medicines for ADHD, anxiety, irritability, mood and related difficulties in children — how they fit alongside therapy, and the care needed in young people.
Learn more Medicines & proceduresSpasticity and muscle-relaxant treatments (paediatric)
From oral medicines and botulinum toxin to baclofen pumps and surgery — how high muscle tone is managed in children, especially in cerebral palsy.
Learn more Treatments & methodsSleep problems: treatments and methods
Sleep difficulties are very common in neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions — and behavioural approaches, good sleep habits and, when needed, melatonin can help.
Learn more RehabilitationCerebral palsy rehabilitation methods (Bobath, MEDEK, Anat Baniel and more)
A practical, honest guide to the named therapy approaches in cerebral palsy — and what the evidence says works best.
Learn more Developmental & behavioural therapyAutism therapies: ABA, Floortime and naturalistic approaches
Understanding the main early intervention approaches in autism — what they involve, the evidence, and the importance of a respectful, child-centred approach.
Learn more TherapySpeech and language therapy (including PROMPT and stuttering)
How speech and language therapy supports communication — including motor-speech approaches like PROMPT, communication aids, and evidence-based stuttering treatment.
Learn more TherapySensory integration therapy
A widely used approach for children with sensory differences — what it involves, where the evidence is stronger or weaker, and how to judge it.
Learn more ProceduresEpilepsy surgery
