How effective is this treatment approach for ADD/ADHD?

We have been able to help the majority of our patient population. When patients selected for treatment meet the above criteria, the majority of those who complete treatment have a reduction or resolution of ADD/ADHD symptoms and no longer require medication.

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!”.

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.

My daughter has improved mostly in areas of social skill since coming to Drake. She has improved confidence: her language skills have improved, and she is doing better in school. She likes coming to Drake.

Ashley is doing so well. She is behaving much better, thinking and communicating more with us, getting along with her sister, and others. She’s taking more responsibility for her actions, and she is setting up her goals to concentrate more in school.

You helped our family a lot and helped my parents understand me. My mother has always been very kind and caring but could never stand the things that I did.

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.

Thank goodness we found out about you . . . [Mason] is a different kid. He has improved with his impulsive; hyperactive behavior. There is less irritability, decreased fidgeting, higher tolerance for frustration, increased ability to stay on task and has the ability to self monitor . . . We home school him now and now he has friends and is doing much better. He now has A’s in math and science. The overall improvement from start of treatment is excellent.

Mason’s Mom

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

Your program has, quite simply, changed our lives. We are pleased that he accomplished this without medication. He owns the changes in his life and doesn’t have to depend on a cycle of medication kicking in and wearing off. We are enormously grateful.

From the mother of Zachary, an 11 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.
