This article discusses the controversial concept of electrical brain stimulation in children and adults, specifically as a method of treatment at Fairley House in London. Fairley house is a school that focuses on children with learning disabilities, and one student was centered on in the article, who was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyscalculia. As one part of treatment, he underwent electrical brain stimulation. This has been shown to improve mathematical ability in adults, over 10,000 of which have undergone this treatment. Even though there has been some demonstrated success, some concerns are still surrounding this method of treatment. Parents might utilize the device in order to enhance their child’s mathematical abilities outside of the controlled environment of a lab with skilled technicians, and because there is not enough data yet to see how this treatment could affect children and what the long lasting effects could be. While it is easier to administer this treatment to younger subjects because their skulls are thinner, the results could either be much greater in nature, or much worse.
