Why Choose Drake to treat your ADD / ADHD child?Here are some factors that we feel are important for you to consider.
A Lasting Treatment
After a full assessment, we have the information necessary to create a Neuro Physical Treatment Program. It is a neuro-feedback protocol that is individualized to meet the patient’s needs and to address the neurological roots of the disorder. We enable the patient to establish and then strengthen brain wave patterns that will allow them to meet life’s challenges and successfully complete tasks that they are not currently able to handle. The neuro-feedback instruments are tailored to Drake’s specifications and are clearly the most modern and effective training tools in the world today. We are applying principles of learning theory that have proven to be effective for 98%* of our patients in creating the new brain response patterns needed for successful treatment. This is a safe, non-invasive, and painless treatment.*LEARNING THE RESPONSE IS NATURAL, INTEGRATING INTO DAILYLIFE IS A CLINICAL EFFORT THAT WILL REQUIRE THE FAMILY, TEACHERS, ETC. DRAKE SUPPORTS AND DIRECTS THIS PROCESS.
As we develop each patient’s new brain capacity, we add needed individualized treatment elements for each patient. The enhanced brain capacity must be integrated into the day to day world; for the treatments to be come internalized they must be used. As the patient progresses, we expand the treatment program to address any additional conditions identified in the initial evaluation. They will synergize with the brain’s changes and enable the patient to catch up and then move ahead of “normal” expectations. We at the Drake Institute strive to move the patient to his or her fullest potential.
Patient Care
Our clinical staff monitors each patient’s progress constantly. We have a customized reporting system that will identify if a case is off track, or not up to our expectations. Our review team of multidisciplinary professionals will confer by video conference clinic-wide to assure us that any patient needing additional attention receives it. Each patient will benefit from the team’s knowledge and experience to maximize progress.Benefits of Success
When patients achieve their goals, their lives change dramatically. Their new mental resources are the vehicle for that change. They can better handle the challenges in our complicated world. Their families are relieved of the responsibility of supporting a potentially lifelong handicap. The social, as well as economic results can be profound.
