Treatment Plan
The result of the Evaluation & Screening will be used to form a plan for successful care based on the individual needs of each patient. Because The Drake Institute is a comprehensive treatment facility, the necessary treatments can all be provided at our clinic. We begin treatment upon the completion of the Eval/Screen and, when indicated, further testing dates will be scheduled. Although each case is unique, it also shares common characteristics with the thousands of patients seen and treated at The Drake Institute. It is from this database of patient success that we generate the best pathway to a resolution of the patient’s difficulties.It has been our experience that the majority of our patients experience high success. To ensure the highest level of success we must all work together: the family, the school, and Drake.
Plan Includes:
30 interactive neurofeedback treatments.
Periodic meetings with parents/patient or other family members as needed.
