We were very surprised after being evaluated at The Drake Institute to find that Rachael had ALL the symptoms of ADHD and was considered a “severe” case . . . I was beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and knew for the first time that it was not a train. This was permanently fixable and would change our lives forever . . . I can honestly tell the parents out there . . . to "GO FOR IT – YOU WON’T BE SORRY!”.

Rachael's parents, Victorville

Now, I barely ever fight with my mother, when my teachers say my name, it’s because I know the answer, and I feel “GRRREAT!” I’m making new friends, and my taste in friends is dramatically changing. I was miserable, now I love my life. What your program has done for me is indescribable. But in a word “Thanks.”

From Zach himself, an 11 year old ADHD patient

I would gladly recommend the Drake Institute and its wonderful programs. Not only is my daughter completely off of her ADHD medication, but she is able to do so much more on her own.

Jill B., mother

We are so thrilled with Jade’s progress. When we first came to Drake, Jade could hardly sit still for the brain map; close his eyes or relax. Now he listens, he notices small detail.

Jade asks before doing things; he taught his sister to calm down when she was crying. He follows directions better then his” typically” developing sister.

Jade’s Mom

The worksheets he does in school always used to have comments from the school aide. I noticed before he needed help tracing his letters or numbers. Now the comments are “great job – did on his own," etc. I rate his overall improvement from start of treatment as excellent.

Andrew’s Mom

As I told another parent just days ago, we have seen our son transform before our eyes. Some people might consider neurofeedback an alternative form of treatment – we consider it cutting edge treatment. If you are reading this, you should take the next step and attend Dr. Velkoff’s seminar.

Rhe parents of Travis, a 7 year old ADHD patient

There has clearly been more focus and concentration at school resulting in useful and logical processing of absorbed information. Momoko is a shining example of the treatment’s potential for hope and optimism in the fight against Autism.

Wayne Y., Father of Momoko

My son is a much happier, more confident easier going child. His repetitive behavior is non -existent, his conversations are no longer one way and he doesn’t fall apart when things don’t go his way.

 

Mindy P., Mother of autistic son

To put Joshua on a lifetime of drug dependence was a last resort for my husband and me. And then the Drake Institute became a part of Joshua’s life. I honestly noticed a difference in Joshua after the first treatment. As the treatments went on, Joshua just got better and better.

Let me tell you what I’ve accomplished since being off the medication and finishing my 40 sessions; I earned a large raise at my company, my sphere of friends has grown tremendously, I have much higher self-esteem, and I’ve been able to start a very successful part-time business. I no longer look at myself as different from other people. I can accomplish anything and everything they can.
