Benefits of Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback therapy is a supportive, effective, non-invasive option for dealing with attention deficit disorder today.

Earlier APA reviews rated neurofeedback highly (Level 5), though more recent research continues to explore its effectiveness. In other words, some research indicates comparable benefits in attention-related outcomes is a safer, evidence-aligned alternative. Brain training via neurofeedback can yield long-lasting results with minimal side effects, if any.

Neurofeedback focuses on renormalizing the brain wave activity after a brain injury with an aim of minimizing many of the symptoms caused by the injury.  By reducing symptoms, neurofeedback can significantly improve daily functioning, allowing the individual to attend to routine tasks that may have become unmanageable.

Family members are often surprised when they begin to notice changes. The first observable shifts usually include: emotional extremes are managed better, the mood is calmer, and molehills are able to remain as molehills. 

The good news is that neurofeedback can assist the brain to function better, and it is alterable through the mechanisms of “brain plasticity.” In fact, neurofeedback is designed to improve communication within the intricate networks of neurons; this is how it directly targets the key functional deficit in autism at the brain level.
