Montague Diagnoistics Trial Update
Montague Diagnostics have been running a trail of their technology on dyslexics. A couple of months in and they have released an update on their progress which seems to be notable. Though until the trial is completed and the results analysed such anacdotal evidence needs to be treated with a pinch of salt.
From Montague Diagnostics:
A trial was established to assess the performance of Virtual Scanning in the treatment of Dyslexia. Circa 25 participants are taking place in the trial which will run from February until November.
Within the first month, a parent who is a medical professional (dentist) with interest in complementary health reported the very clear and distinct improvement to her daughter’s behaviour.
Further improvements have been reported after the first month by another mother who has two children in the trial. The elder son is reported to have much improved sleeping patterns (dropping off to sleep quickly in contrast to taking several hours previously, improved quality of sleep, less interrupted sleep/waking during the night) whilst the younger son’s behaviour has become less dramatic/more calm.
Another parent, a complementary health practitioner, of a young man in his early 20’s reports: ‘his short term memory has improved, he is more out-going in his personality, he no longer moves his lips when he reads, he is more communicative and initiates more conversations, he is more physically coordinated in his movements, his verbal responses are quicker and more confident’. This practitioner has indicated his willingness to become a Virtual Scanning practitioner.
A male university student of 19 years reports after the first module of treatment ‘phenomenally improved concentration’. His mother, a SENCO at an independent school, is delighted with the progress.
