ADHD Homeschooling in Damansara, Petaling Jaya: BrainWorks Homeschool Campus
ADHD changes how a child manages attention and self-control, not how well they think. Our programme adds structure around the brain while training the systems inside it, with movement, short sprints and instant feedback.
What it can look like
ADHD is a brain-based difference in attention, activity level and self-control. It is not low intelligence, defiance or poor parenting, and strong interest can still switch focus on.
Younger children
- Constant motion and climbing
- Difficulty waiting a turn
- Very short play focus
- Big, quick emotions
Primary age
- Rushes or leaves work unfinished
- Loses books and tools
- Fidgets, leaves seat
- Blurts out answers
Secondary age
- Poor time sense, late work
- Disorganised bags and notes
- Inner restlessness
- Knows more than results show
Many learners with ADHD show energy, creativity, curiosity, quick thinking, humour and intense focus on topics they love. We build on these strengths.
The learning route
Primary years
Early years · Stages 1–2
Movement-rich learning, waiting and turn-taking games, a visual routine chart, early reading and number in 5-minute bursts.
Middle years · Stages 3–4
First focus sprints with a visible timer, checklists for starting and finishing, learning to check work before saying done.
Upper years · Stages 5–6
Longer sprints with self-set goals, simple planner use, emotion tools, preparing for Lower Secondary.
Secondary years
Lower Secondary · 11–14
Personal planner and weekly planning habit, breaking long tasks into daily steps, note-taking that keeps hands and mind active.
IGCSE · 14–16
Backward-planned revision timetable, command-word and past-paper routines, exam stamina built from short sprints.
Study systems
25-minute study sprints with a 5-minute movement break, an error-check routine, and daily top-three tasks.
A day in the programme
8:30 to 3:00 with movement first: sports and movement, breakfast, four learning blocks, lunch, then revision and assessment. Groups of one to four learners.
- English: two to three focus sprints, with a movement reset between.
- Mathematics: hands-on, step-by-step, with instant checking.
- Science or other subject: experiments and projects in short steps.
- Cognitive and skill set: attention and working-memory training, planning and organisation, plus character reflection.
The Cambridge pathway
Cambridge Primary (ages 5 to 11), Cambridge Lower Secondary (11 to 14) and Cambridge IGCSE (14 to 16), taught at the right pace for your child.
How we track progress
- Baseline screen: attention span, working memory, task completion, organisation, time sense and emotional regulation, plus age-level academic skills.
- Daily sprint and completion record.
- Re-check every 10–12 weeks.
- Termly parent report with simple graphs and next goals.
An ADHD-friendly learning space: clear desks, a quiet corner, visual schedules, fidget-friendly seating and written steps alongside spoken ones.
Frequently asked questions
Do you diagnose ADHD or advise on medication?
No. BrainWorks screens and supports learning. Diagnosis and medical decisions are made by a qualified clinician, and we work alongside them where they are involved.
Can my child really cope with a learning day?
The day opens with an hour of sports and movement, work is split into 15–20 minute sprints with movement resets, and groups are one to four, so the day is built around how an ADHD brain works best.
Will my child follow the Cambridge pathway?
Yes. Content follows Cambridge Primary, Lower Secondary and IGCSE at age level. What changes is the structure, pace and support.
How do I know what works?
You receive a short daily home note, a monthly review and a termly report with simple graphs and next goals.
What does it cost?
Fees depend on your child's needs and programme. Please contact us for details.
