Performance Breakthrough is a family-run business based in Northern Ireland, offering a unique, medication-free programme that helps children and adults overcome challenges related to ADHD, dyslexia, sensory processing issues, anxiety, and more. Founded on over 15 years of experience and grounded in the science of neuroplasticity, our programme uses daily physical exercises such as beanbag and balance board activities, to strengthen brain-body connections and unlock learning and emotional potential. Clients receive a full kit of equipment and 12 months of one-to-one support, with measurable improvements in focus, emotional regulation, sleep, and behaviour often seen in as little as six weeks. We work with families, schools, and sportspeople to address the root cause of difficulties, not just the symptoms, and support long-term development in a practical, empowering way. Performance Breakthrough is the only programme of its kind worldwide, and we are passionate about helping individuals thrive in school, work, relationships, and life.

What Makes Performance Breakthrough Different?

Root Cause Approach – We don’t mask symptoms with labels or medication. We target the neurological root cause of challenges like ADHD, dyslexia, and sensory issues using movement and neuroplasticity. Whole-Family Support – Our programme is designed not just for the individual, but for the entire family. We provide 12 months of personalised coaching to guide and empower parents or carers every step of the way. Daily, Practical Exercises – Just 10 minutes a day using a beanbag, pendulum ball, bouncy balls and a balance board at home—no clinics, no stress, just real results from simple, consistent movement. Trackable Progress – From initial evaluation to emotional wellbeing tracking and progress reviews each month, families can see and celebrate measurable change in focus, behaviour, sleep, and emotional regulation. The Only Programme of Its Kind – There is no other company worldwide offering this full combination of movement-based neurodevelopment, tailored support, measurable outcomes, and a non-clinical, empowering path to change.
