Today marks the end of another phase of trying to address some dilemmas in Rafael's life. He is an 11-year-old child with hyperactivity and Tourette syndrome. Despite achieving good academic results, he is a child with many complaints about his behavior at school and in his social environment. Neurofeedback was another path that emerged to address these problems, and although it did not completely resolve Rafael's Tourette syndrome (as it is a chronic condition), it did bring some improvements in terms of hyperactivity.
I am grateful to Dr. Shilan, Dr. Maria, Dr. César, and Dr. Filipa for all the work and patience they had with Rafael. I am certain that his future will always be brighter, in part thanks to this team.
Thank you,

I, the mother of Sérgio Rafael, an eleven-year-old boy with hyperactivity, attention and concentration deficit, fine motor skills issues, and delayed maturity, fully believed in the Neurofeedback treatment and decided to give it a try in hopes of finding solutions to these problems.
The transition to elementary school was very complex, and now, in the 5th grade, we see a more mature, calm, confident, and attentive Sérgio. These improvements came after a lot of effort at home and at school, but fundamentally thanks to NeuroImprove, as it is an exceptional treatment with exceptional people who give their heart and soul to a treatment in which they fully trust. I know Sérgio perfectly well, and I noticed a significant improvement after these four and a half months of treatment at NeuroImprove.
I highly recommend this treatment to parents who have children with some limitations at home. At first, when we are informed of the cost of the treatment, we may think it is an exorbitant amount for a few sessions per month, but those same sessions make all the difference in the child's life for a future and happy life.
Warm regards and best wishes to Dr. Shilan, Dr. César, and Dr. Maria,
From the family and Sérginho himself,

I want to thank the entire team at Neuroimprove for the dedication and effort they put into helping my son Edgar.
When it all began, it was very uncertain and doubtful. Will it work? There was a lot of anxiety to see Edgar improve. But, I really don't regret having made the decision to accept NeuroImprove's help, despite all the costs (for the parents), the trips, everything is worth it when we see the results in our child.
At this moment, I see my son more attentive in his daily life, more interested in everything he does, and dedicated at school. He is a happier and more confident child.
A new stage awaits Edgar, and now he feels the strength within himself to be more attentive at school.
Thank you NeuroImprove, and may you continue to help other children and adults.
Hugs and kisses to everyone,

After several attempts to find professional and dedicated support to help our son deal with a 'common' condition nowadays, ADHD, we found the help we were looking for at NeuroImprove.
Always attentive, always understanding, always caring... in short, always professional! The improvements in our son are more than evident and manifest themselves daily in his behavior and attention.
Hearing him say that he didn't want to take Ritalin every day, and having to give it to him, was something that deeply hurt us and made us question if we were doing everything we should to help our son.
Although we have joined some institutions, attended some conferences and meetings on the subject of ADHD, we only found hope and help here at NeuroImprove. It's regrettable that in this country, children, the future generations, continue to be medicated, becoming 'Ritalin-dependent,' when in fact, there are solutions like the ones NeuroImprove provides.
Thanking you from the bottom of our hearts, we can only wish that you continue the good work, the enormous dedication, and the comfortable affection that you dedicate to parents and children, knowing that you are helping these children to have a better and more promising future.
Thank you all!!

I thank the entire NeuroImprove team for the excellent work you have done!
A big thank you to all the doctors for your commitment and dedication to my son David.
When everything seemed negative and the future appeared unpromising, it was with you that a new light appeared!
In just a few months, my son became a different person, improving visibly at school; even his homeroom teacher was amazed by David's progress in school. The special education teacher said that of all the children with special educational needs, David showed the most progress...!
I appreciate everything you taught us, the techniques, exercises, methods... Everything that completely changed our lives for the better; David became calmer, determined to finish his tasks, got Good grades in English, Mathematics, and Social Studies, "only" Satisfactory in Portuguese but that was still a victory (4th grade).
In short, you guys are fantastic and you change children's lives without medication, which is wonderful!
Thank you very much!

We arrived timidly, tired, and with many doubts about everything... Our João Miguel, 10 years old, was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, and at school, things only went better when he took medication. But giving him medication "killed me." I didn't want to hide my son; I wanted him to be able to learn, to evolve, to understand that he was capable, that he could do a page of exercises, or even just one, without throwing a tantrum.
During one of the many nights of research and despair, I found NeuroImprove. I won't say we didn't have doubts. We did. Many. On that late September day, we left with some hope but also with many apprehensions. João is impulsive; João can't (or can only with tantrums/threats from the teacher) write the summary at the same time as the other students... Will he ever be able to do it without medication? I loved that they didn't give me certainty that day. I loved that they explained to me that each case was unique but that they believed they could help our son. If it wasn't possible to eliminate the medication, at least to lower the dose.
Today is the last day of Neurofeedback. Our son hasn't been medicated since November 2018 (the end). He took the tests without medication. He scored excellent on everything (even if that's not the most important thing for us). What REALLY matters is that João did 10 pages of each test without tantrums, without saying "I don't know," "I can't"!!! Does he still get distracted a bit? Yes, it happens, but he is undoubtedly a happier child because he believes in himself!!!
We have no words to thank Dr. Maria and the entire NeuroImprove team for everything they were able to do for our son. There is nothing that can repay the fact that we see our son doing the work (because he has always had the ability to do so) without crying, without taking an eternity, without complaining, and with understandable handwriting.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
You are our guardian angels!
Eternally grateful,
