LEARNING DISABILITIES & NEUROTHERAPY Orlando and Rivera trained sixth through eighth grade learning disabled students in neurotherapy for an average of only twenty-eight sessions. Word reading and reading comprehension improved significantly, while there was no significant gain for the control group. Verbal I.Q. improved from 82 to 92.33, Performance I.Q. from 87.33 to 89.22 (not statistically significant), and Full Scale I.Q. went from 82.89 to 89.78. There was no gain for the control group. (Journal of Neurotherapy 2004; 2:5-19) Fernandez et al reported increases in I.Q. after neurotherapy for learning disabled students. (Clinical Encephalography 2003 34:145-52) Harmony et al described EEG differences in learning disabled children, particularly in regard to increased slow waves. Marosi et al (Encephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology 1992; 83350-7) identified differences in coherence, or the connections between sites, in learning disabled children.
