Neurofeedback Training

 

Our brains produce different brain wave patterns when we are engaged in different activities such as thinking, reading, or sleeping. Various general mental processes and emotional states can also be identified. All in all there are identifiable natural rhythms which are an indication of normal regulation. When these rhythms are distorted this is a sign of dysregulation which often correlates with impairments in language ability, cognitive, language, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

 

Thus a detailed brain map (or QEEG) is conducted in order to identify the source and nature of the problems. This is absolutely necessary in order to devise tailored neurofeedback (NFB) training which will assist the brain to better engage in learning and allow the child to develop in various areas. For ADHD children, often the training goal is to improve executive functioning so that the brain can be shifted to a more attentive state.

 

Research has shown that about 70% to 80% of children with ADHD show improvement in their problems through neurofeedback.
