wHATS THE RUNDOWN Fornix?

We built this service because we saw a crucial gap. On one hand, the number of people (kids AND adults) with diagnosed disorders is rising - the SA Journal of Psychiatry estimates over 1.6 million South Africans have ADHD, and conditions like Autism and Dyslexia are more widely recognized than ever.

On the other hand, there is a much larger group of children with "sub-clinical" symptoms.

These are children who struggle with the exact same skills:

Difficulty staying focused

Overwhelming anxiety or social challenges

Disrupted sleep cycles and "brain-rot" from screens (try saying “6-7” to your kids as an experiment…)

Inability to plan or start a task (Executive Dysfunction)

South African research shows that a child's Executive Function (their ability to plan, focus, and self-regulate) is a top predictor of their academic success. Our niche is simple: We don't just re-teach math. We rebuild your child's confidence by giving them the executive skills they need to thrive, whether they have a diagnosis or not.

Our Programme

Our Neuro-Cognitive Capacity Building Programme uses best-practice methods in academic support (all school subjects) for students who experience difficulty with focus, memory retention, motivation, or learning pace.

We appeal to two distinct needs:

Sub-Clinical Support
(UNDIAGNOSED but struggling and would like to improve their brain health!)
For students struggling with generalized focus, motivation, and study skills.

Clinical Support
(You’ve been to a psychologist who’s given you a diagnosis)

For those with formal diagnoses like ADHD, Autism, or Specific Learning Disorders, providing the specialized structure they require, while working with some of the best educational psychologists in the industry!

The Cycle (how long)

Programmes are structured in measurable 3, 6, or 9-month cycles of personalized Assessment, Structured Sessions, and Reporting. This service is working with YOU directly :)

Whats the GOAL...

You gain subject mastery and develop essential protective factors, paving the way for improved academic standing and clearer career trajectories.

The big thing for us is giving you lasting skills to be able to use neuroscience for your own benefit. This is all part of our effort to make advanced scientific research accessible for South Africans :)
Our plan isn’t really to see you again (harsh we know, but that’s how we’ll know that we did our job well!)
