Abstract

This case study describes diagnosis and treatment of a nine-year-old male with poor reading achievement, attention deficit disorder, and severe generalized anxiety disorder. The goal of the treatment was to significantly increase this young man’s reading achievement, reduce his anxiety to a normal level, and to reduce his ADD symptoms so he could concentrate at a normal level for his age and sex. Psychological testing was administered and QEEGs were recorded before and after treatment intervention. The patient was treated using the ROSHI Complex Adaptive Protocol, Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation, and Project Read Reading Program. This multimodal treatment lasted six months with follow-up testing administered 15 months after initial diagnostic testing. Before and after objective psychological test results and QEEG changes indicate significant improvement in reading achievement, significant math and spelling achievement, significant reduction in anxiety, and significant
reduction in ADD symptoms.
