We took our 9 year old ADHD daughter to a free screening a few weeks ago and they performed a balance test and a vestibular test to check the inner ear. Her balance was good but the inner ear test indicated a possible viral infection. They do accept insurance and treat other neuro-sensory disorders (dizziness, imbalance, migraines, chronic headaches, autistic spectrum, sensory integration and post-concussion syndrome). We scheduled a follow up visit the next week because we thought we'll always wonder "what if?" if we don't check it out. My husband took our daughter to the follow up visit today where they performed more tests (tympanogram, memory tests, visual tests -- don't know the clinical name for these) related to the inner ear and her vision and how these two senses work together. After all test results were reviewed the doctor suggested treating her with two anti-viral medications and suggested we put her on a multi-vitamin as well. He also recommended we have a urine sample checked for heavy metals which requires a special pill be taken prior to the specimen. The pill is not covered by insurance. We haven't filled any of the prescriptions yet as we just received these today. I was searching for more info before we move forward with this type of treatment.

Is anyone else familiar with this approach and if so, have you seen improved results? One side effect we were told is that the anti-viral medication may make our already hyper child even more hyper for a short time while the medication is being absorbed.

I myself am a patient at the Texas NeuroSensory Center and it has done wonders for my dizziness and focusing abilities. I have told many friends who are now patients and they too have never felt better. They really look into what is causing your issues and you can see your improvement in the test results they give you. They also take insurance which is a big help. I would recommend them to anyone that cannot find the answers to why they feel so bad or are having trouble from day to day.

That's great. Do you know of good results for ADHD too?

We have been patient's of the one in north Texas for the last 5 months. We have seen improvement in our son who as Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as ADHD. He has improved balance, coordination, better volume control, he's sleeping more and better, and he's learning better at school. We just finished our anti-viral regimine and are now taking natural anti-viral supplements and other supplements. Non of the medications or supplements are sold by the NC facility by the way. We have been pleased with our results and will continue to follow up with our doctor there. If you have any specific questions, I would be happy to fill you in.

I am an adult who has been treated at the Neurosensory Center of Eastern PA. They were key in providing documentation for my disability since they do a lot of neurosensory testing that can document how your brain is functioning for all sensory integration disorders, autism spectrum disorders and AD/HD. Currently the main professionals in the office include an optometrist, Dr. Jeffrey Becker, and a psychologist, Dr. Robert Bohlander. They no longer have a physician. They also have a nurse, Sheila Becker (I believe she is Dr. Becker's wife), a woman, Diane Haberkern, who does the diagnostic testing, and a woman, Holly Norkus, who does the visual rehabilitation. You can listen to the optometrist explain the diagnostics and therapy involved at the following site: http://www.voiceamerica.com/voiceamerica/vepisode.aspx?aid=43495.
