Background
This case follows a 5-year-old child who was struggling with focus and moving between activities. At home, transitions could be difficult. Shifting from one task to another often led to frustration or resistance. Her parents were looking for something they could do at home that would support her in a gentle and consistent way. They wanted to help her build better focus and make daily routines feel easier. They chose to rent a NeurOptimal® system for 12 weeks. From the beginning, they committed to using it regularly as part of their home routine.
