Dyscalculia in Children and Adults

We work with children, and teens with dyscalculia by looking at the underlying neurodevelopmental factors that can make working with numbers harder than they need to be. Our biology-led programs complement specialist maths support and can help create the conditions in which learning interventions are more likely to land.

Neurodevelopmental Movement

NeuroMature

NeuroMature for dyscalculia

Decades of neurodevelopmental research shows that retained primitive reflexes can interfere with learning, eye-tracking, balance, and coordination , all of which can make learning and maths more demanding.

NeuroMature is our proprietary six-month, at-home exercise program, honed over a decade based on our clinical experience. It uses short daily movement exercises designed to integrate retained reflexes.

Two primitive reflexes in particular can affect maths ability when they remain active beyond infancy.

The Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR), when retained, can affect spatial awareness and the way the eyes work together , both of which matter for visualising numbers, counting accurately and judging relationships between quantities.

The Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (STNR), when retained, can affect vertical eye-tracking, which can make working with columns of numbers and structured equations particularly demanding.

Many clients report improvements in coordination, balance, and the visual and motor skills that underpin reading and number work. Every individual responds differently.

"The Key Clinic has been amazing throughout our experience so far. We first engaged with them during ‘Covid’ and visited their Berkshire clinic for an initial assessment with our then 10-year-old son, who has ASD, ADHD, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia. From there, we enrolled on the audio, neurodevelopmental, and biomedical pathways and were fully supported every step of the way with face-to-face and online consultations."

Testimonials

See the good news

BrightBeatz + NeuroMature

It felt like we were looking for the missing puzzle pieces for our son. The more we learned about retained primitive reflexes, the more we understood why our son was struggling. The transformation in our son's confidence has been remarkable.

NeuroMature

The neurodevelopment programme is a must for adopted children. It underpins all the other work parents do with attachment and trauma and supports children to be the best version of themselves. As a family we are much happier and regulated.

NeuroMature

I cannot recommend The Key Clinic enough. From the initial contact to the final assessment they have been professional and caring. You become a team working together for your child.

NeuroMature

We'd tried tutoring, OT, three diets, and a colour-coded sticker chart. NeuroMature gave us a sequence that actually held together and showed where to start.

My child said to us the other day, 'remember when I used to hate myself?' Now he doesn't. He is proud of himself and his achievements. He is also able to do things he could never do before such as catch a ball, revise for exams, be organised for school.

NeuroMature

Twelve weeks. He's listening in class. Teachers have noticed. We've barely changed anything else.

We were at a loss as to how we could help our daughter. When I first heard about the Key Clinic on the Chris Evans show, I immediately identified with what he was talking about. At each stage I have felt fully supported.
