Intervention Cases
Case records from Huanxing Brain Health Promotion Center, a research clinic in the same group as our technology partner Chengdu Xinnao Technology, using the same assessment and individualized neuromodulation approach. To protect the children's privacy, names, exact ages, dates and scores are not shown.
Each case describes one child's experience. Changes differ from child to child, and these cases do not predict results for other children. ATEC is a parent-reported checklist; a lower score means fewer reported difficulties.
Child A
Boy, preschool age · 5 months of intervention
Daily individual training (40 min) and group class (60 min), alongside the neuromodulation course.
ATEC total
About 30% lower after the program
Before: avoided eye contact; mostly repeated words; rarely answered simple questions.
Day 10: emotions largely stable; attended kindergarten for the first time.
Months 2–3: conversations over several turns; started playing with a girl of the same age.
Month 5: used language across new situations; looked after a younger child; no longer lost temper when criticized.
Sleep: bedtime moved from 11 pm to before 10 pm within the first weeks.
Child B
Boy, school age · Three one-month blocks of intervention
Group classes in the first two blocks; individual training (40 min) and group class (60 min) in the third.
ATEC total
About 35% lower after the program
Before: poor eye contact; short answers; pronouns often used incorrectly.
Day 7: asked questions on his own for the first time; conversations of 4–5 turns.
Day 10–12: accepted criticism better; asked for things in a supermarket by himself.
Day 19: accepted a refusal calmly and explained it himself.
Third block: invited his sister to play; his teacher noted he likes to play with classmates and is still learning how to communicate with them.
Child C
Boy, teenager · 3 months of intervention
Brain function assessment five times a month and a neuromodulation course of 20 sessions a month.
Parents' main concerns before: long periods dwelling on a refusal, unstable mood, and difficulty reading social cues.
Progress was tracked with weekly brain function assessments.
