Treatment Plan | Drake Institute

ADD, ADHD, Autism, Aspergers, are approached through our medical model of Evaluation/Assessment, Diagnosis, Treatment plan, and Prognosis. It is the same pathway for all patients but will lead to different directions as required by the data and the disorder being presented. We use all our experience with every patient we’ve seen to create our best chance for success with each disorder and with each patient’s circumstances and symptoms.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

M.F., mother

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

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.

S. G., Irvine

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.
