Neurodevelopmental Disorders Treated

Neurodevelopmental disorders affect brain development, leading to challenges in learning, behavior, communication, and social interaction. These disorders often emerge in childhood and can persist into adulthood.

At Neurotherapeutix, we offer fMRI-guided TMS therapy, a non-invasive treatment approach for these conditions designed to enhance brain connectivity and improve quality of life.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition characterized by difficulties in social communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory sensitivities.

Individuals with ASD may struggle with:

• Difficulty interpreting social cues
• Repetitive movements or speech patterns
• Sensory processing challenges
• Rigid adherence to routines

Our advanced fMRI-guided TMS therapy targets specific neural pathways to support cognitive and emotional development, aiming to improve communication skills and reduce anxiety.

Asperger’s Syndrome

Asperger’s Syndrome is a condition on the autism spectrum characterized by challenges in social interaction, intense focus on specific interests, and sensory sensitivities.

Symptoms may include:

• Difficulty understanding social norms
• Highly specialized interests
• Sensory overload or heightened sensitivity

TMS therapy helps regulate neural activity, improving executive function and adaptive behaviors.

Impaired Connections

Impaired neural connectivity refers to disruptions in communication between different brain regions, which can lead to learning, memory, and emotional regulation difficulties.

Common symptoms include:

• Trouble focusing and processing information
• Struggles with problem-solving and adaptability
• Emotional dysregulation

Our personalized fMRI-guided TMS therapy restores disrupted pathways, enhancing overall brain function and cognitive processing.

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities affect the brain’s ability to process and retain information, impacting reading, writing, and math skills.

Common signs include:

• Trouble recognizing letters and numbers
• Difficulty following instructions
• Short attention span and difficulty focusing

fMRI-guided TMS therapy strengthens neural connections related to learning, enhancing cognitive function and academic performance.

Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability that affects reading fluency and comprehension.

Individuals with dyslexia may experience:

• Difficulty decoding words and sounds
• Poor spelling and writing skills
• Challenges with reading comprehension

TMS therapy supports improved literacy and cognitive development by targeting neural pathways responsible for language processing.

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual disabilities impact reasoning, problem-solving, and adaptive functioning, making everyday tasks more challenging.

Common symptoms of intellectual disability include:

• Delayed cognitive development
• Difficulty with independent living skills
• Struggles with abstract thinking and reasoning

Our innovative treatment approach improves cognitive flexibility and brain connectivity, helping individuals develop greater independence.

Tourette Syndrome

Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements and vocal tics.

Symptoms may include:

• Sudden, repetitive motor tics (e.g., blinking, head jerking)
• Involuntary vocalizations (e.g., grunting, throat clearing)
• Difficulty controlling impulses

fMRI-guided TMS therapy targets neural circuits responsible for motor control, helping reduce tic severity and improve overall stability.

Down Syndrome

Down Syndrome is a genetic condition that affects cognitive development, speech, and motor skills. Common challenges include:

• Delayed language and speech development
• Reduced memory and problem-solving skills
• Difficulty with coordination and fine motor tasks

While no cure exists, our tailored therapy supports neural plasticity, improving cognitive processing and learning abilities.
