Berkman Academy
Why kids and teens respond better here:
Sitting in a room often doesn’t work for ADHD brains.
They need something more engaging, practical, and hands on.
​
At Berkman Academy, counselling happens in nature, through movement, and alongside horses.
This unique setting keeps attention engaged, builds executive function through real tasks, gives instant feedback, and helps kids regulate emotions in the moment.
The result is confidence, focus, calm, and resilience that carry beyond the session into school and home life.
Brush, Lead, Grow – ADHD Pathway
Our seven step embodied program helping kids and
teens increase focus, confidence, and self-regulation.
Executive Function – Real-world tasks in nature (with horses) strengthen planning and follow-through.
​
Focus & Attention – Movement keeps ADHD brains engaged and active.
​
Impulsivity – Horses give instant feedback, teaching kids to slow down and regulate.
​
Confidence – Success in hands-on activities builds self-belief.
​
Emotional Regulation – Nature and animals help calm the nervous system.
​
Social Awareness – Working individually with horses helps kids practice patience, clear communication, and respect for boundaries.
​
Resilience – When things don’t go to plan, kids learn persistence and problem-solving in a safe, supportive setting.
