First Class Development and Learning Resources

Natural Solutions to Neurodevelopmental Challenges

First Class Neurodevelopment and Learning Resources reaches beyond labels to provide an effective, drug-free, natural approach to neurodevelopmental challenges.

Individuals labeled with ADD/ADHD, Autism/PDD, Hyperactivity and Oppositional Defiant Disorder are often treated with medication and other traditional therapies.

Today, the number of individuals taking drugs for neurodevelopmental irregularities is escalating out of control. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, the number of prescriptions written for a stimulant medication to treat ADHD has increased 500 percent since 1991.

During the course of treatment, behavior-altering drugs provide only compensatory measures and temporary results. Sedating an individual with powerful drugs may bring calm to the classroom or home environment, but does not address the underlying cause.

As a society, our success in helping children and adults is limited by our understanding of behaviors, challenges and needs that stem from a neurodevelopmental perspective. In order to treat underlying causes, it is necessary to have a greater understanding of the stages of development that contribute to the foundation of learning.

Behaviors send a message, but they are not a diagnosis. Therefore, understanding the cause of the behavior is essential before permanent changes can be made.

First Class addresses the root cause of the disordered behaviors and offers an effective drug-free approach to efficient neurological functioning, learning and lifelong changes. A drug-free approach puts you in control!
