Dr. Levinsons book Phobia Free gave me answers the other doctor couldn't. When I insisted the doctors treat me for a sensory disorder with Beno class meds rather than anxiety with SSRI's I got much better results. What he linked as Vestibular Disorders causing many of these problems is like true. What Levinson found in the 1970's is now in Vestibular fields being called C.A.P.D. Central Auditory Processing Disorders. It is different from ADD ADHD and must as well be treated different. If anyone wants to say this is a drug company invention think again. Only a trained Audiologist can detect it.
Dr. Levinson really helped my child and my whole family greatly. He was the only person I truly trusted when we went through the whole process the summer before my son went into 2nd grade. He totally agreed with me that my son should INDEED be promoted. The public school shrink I trusted the absolute least. In fact one day she wanted me to sign a release so she could talk to Levinson. I refused and said I would be the middleman between them.
Dr. Levinson was also the only person who told me that I should have a tutor for my son to help him one on one at home. We did that and it truly helped. Anyone who simply puts there kid on RITALIN without doing their homework is a jerk. I'm sorry but that is how I feel after going through this.
AND NEVER USE THE SCHOOL RECOMMENDED DOCTORS, I think they have a racket going on. I happened across Levinson online years ago doing research. While we did use some ritalin and aderall for a while, we also used the meclazine, ginko and lecithan. (excuse my spellings) In addition we used a drug called clonidine to treat my sons inablity to sleep while on the aderall.
He is also very good with the kids and you can see the respect that the children have for him. Some days while waiting in his office people would have suitcases with them, they were coming from all over to see him.
