ADHD & Developmental Success Stories
Ian – Overcoming Asperger's, ADHD, and Developmental Challenges
Patient: Ian (age 16 at time of treatment)
Conditions: Asperger’s Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Delay, ADHD
Location: Middletown, NJ
Treatment Duration: 4 months
Mother’s Update:
This is a progress update from the mother of a 16 year old boy diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Delay, and Attention Deficit Disorder. At the time of my involvement with this case, Ian was on home school program as his home public school district refused him any special services. He was set to transition to a school that specialized in education for those with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
While there is a bit more transition taking place I thought it hopeful and helpful to share Ian’s progress since the beginning of February. We truly are a team. We are grateful for everyone’s efforts to help Ian be the best Ian he can be and then some! Thank you!!!
I apologize they are a bit scattered but I am jotting them down as I noticed.

Patient: Sam A (age 15) | Condition: ADHD and Developmental Delay | Location: Holmdel, NJ
My son was diagnosed with ADHD and was taking Vyvanse to manage the symptoms. He started Brain Core Therapy in August and just finished 30 visits.
Before BrainCore Therapy, he had severe impulsivity, severe lack of focus and distractibility. Now he is much less impulsive and is able to focus even when his surroundings may be distractive. His reading has improved tremendously too. The very best thing of all is that he is managing this well without medication!
The doctor and staff were great! Everyone was very informative and genuinely concerned for my son and whether or not the program was working for him. He loved going to the sessions and enjoyed the program overall. I would definitely recommend BrainCore Therapy for others!

Anxiety & Depression relief stories
Patient: Sara C. (age 54) | Condition: ADHD & Anxiety | Location: Lincroft, NJ
I decided to try BrainCore Therapy because I could not focus on anything. I could not accomplish even simple tasks and I felt overwhelmed. I never felt peaceful or content. I had a negative outlook on everything and I obsessed about everything. I felt tired with no energy.
I noticed changes in about ten visits. I felt more optimistic and content. I generally felt better and happier. I did not obsess as much and my focus was very much improved. I felt like my old self again!
I am so pleased with my results and I would highly recommend this treatment! BrainCore has greatly improved my focus and clarity while taking away my anxiety! I even managed to get a job during this process! I don’t think I could have managed that without BrainCore. The doctor and staff were so caring and helpful. I am so thankful for this treatment. It has made such a difference in my life!
