We agreed to do a brain map to determine if there were any problem areas of brain activity. Those results showed that she still had several processing problems. With processing problems, brain efficiency is compromised and the information does not pass satisfactorily between areas of the brain for proper functioning. Lucy began a treatment plan that addressed those processing deficits. The remediation allowed her to improve the communication between areas of her brain and the functional skills that were a frustration for her. Gradually she became more motivated, more organized and she began to speak proudly of her academic successes. Improved test grades, homework and class work scores were evidence that she was becoming a successful and happy student. She looked forward to her neurofeedback sessions and began to develop confidence in her new career goals. Looking at and visiting colleges that offered a career of her interest were now on her radar. .

Her parents were very happy with the shift in her attitude towards school and her higher career goals. She will soon graduate from neurofeedback and high school with a bright future and confidence in her ability to be successful.
