Neurofeedback Training For Autism Treatment
We are here to help!
For those with Autism, regular neurofeedback training can have a positive impact on a child's life. By supporting the brain to self-correct, neurofeedback can lead to various improvements in emotional regulation, behaviour, mood, and overall well-being.
​
Some of the positive changes observed in Autistic children who have undergone neurofeedback training include:
​
-
Decreased outbursts
-
Fewer mood swings
-
Increased cooperation both at home and in school
-
Reduction in hyperactivity and anxiety
-
Improved communication skills
-
Enhanced retention and attention span
Immediate feedback on the brain's functioning can help it improve its performance. While medications manage the symptoms of Autism, neurofeedback provides natural support for the brain to self-correct.

Research has demonstrated notable improvements in functional capacity in Autistic children through the use of neurofeedback.
Notable enhancements include reduced anxiety levels, improved speech, more meaningful communication, better understanding of the world, decreased obsessiveness, and enhanced empathy.
It is important to note that neurofeedback is most effective when combined with other interventions, as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex condition.
Seeking additional support for speech, behaviour management, and academics is generally advantageous for individuals with ASD.
Additionally, we recommend consulting a physician specializing in nutritional medicine to thoroughly explore any potential nutritional issues related to ASD.
Neurofeedback: A Breakthrough Approach to Helping Children with Autism
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects millions of children worldwide, posing challenges in communication, social interaction, and behaviour. While there is no cure for ASD, therapies and interventions are crucial in helping children with autism lead fulfilling lives. Among the innovative approaches gaining recognition is neurofeedback, a non-invasive technique that offers promising results in improving the symptoms and overall well-being of children with autism.
​
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, focuses on training and modifying brainwave activity in real-time. By monitoring and providing feedback on brainwave patterns, neurofeedback empowers children with autism to self-regulate their brain activity and make positive changes.
​
One of the primary challenges faced by children with autism is high levels of anxiety. Neurofeedback has shown significant potential in reducing anxiety symptoms in these children. By training the brain to produce more balanced patterns of electrical activity, neurofeedback can help regulate emotional responses and promote a calmer, more relaxed state. The result is a reduction in anxiety levels, leading to improved emotional well-being and increased ability to engage in social interactions.
​
Attention and focus difficulties are also common among children with autism. Neurofeedback targets these core challenges by training the brain to produce brainwave patterns associated with enhanced attention and concentration. By guiding the brain towards more focused states, children with autism can experience improved attention and concentration, which can positively impact their ability to learn and process information.
​
Sensory processing issues often accompany autism, making it difficult for children to effectively process and respond to sensory stimuli. Neurofeedback has shown promise in addressing these sensory challenges. By retraining the brain to better process sensory information, children with autism can experience improved sensory integration, leading to more effective and appropriate responses to their environment.
​
Social skills development is another crucial aspect of therapy for children with autism. Neurofeedback can play a vital role in enhancing social skills by targeting and training the brain networks associated with social interaction. By improving the brain's ability to recognize social cues, understand emotions, and engage in empathetic communication, children with autism can gain significant improvements in their social interactions and relationships.
​
One of the greatest advantages of neurofeedback for autism is its non-invasive nature. This makes it well-suited for children who may be sensitive to physical touch or resistant to traditional therapeutic approaches. By simply wearing a cap with sensors that measure brainwave activity, children can engage in neurofeedback training sessions comfortably and without any discomfort.
​
It is important to note that neurofeedback should be administered by qualified professionals who are experienced in working with children with autism. These professionals will conduct assessments to determine the specific needs of each child and design personalised neurofeedback training programs tailored to their unique brain activity patterns.
Neurofeedback is rapidly gaining recognition as a breakthrough approach to helping children with autism. Its non-invasive nature, coupled with its ability to target core challenges such as anxiety, attention difficulties, sensory processing issues, and social skills development, makes it a valuable addition to the range of therapies available for children with autism.
​
While neurofeedback is not a cure for autism, it offers a powerful tool in improving the symptoms and overall well-being of children with autism to improve their functional capacity in socializing, communication and learning. By harnessing the brain's potential to change and adapt, neurofeedback empowers these children to unlock their true abilities and overcome the challenges they face, leading to greater independence and improved quality of life.
​
If your child is living with autism, it may be worth exploring the potential benefits of neurofeedback. Consult with one of our certified professional in the field to discuss how neurofeedback could be integrated into your child's comprehensive treatment plan. Together, let's pave the way for a brighter and more fulfilling future for children with autism through the power of neurofeedback.
How does Neurofeedback training work?
Neurofeedback is an innovative training approach that helps your brain retrain itself to support healthier brainwave activity.
Sit back and relax
Our neurofeedback practitioners begin by ensuring your comfort and position electrodes on your scalp to capture an instant measurement of your brainwave activity.
Let your brain do the work
The Neurofeedback technology communicates with your brain directly, while you watch a movie, play a game, read a book, or listen to music.
Feel your brain change
As your brainwave activity shifts towards a healthier state, your brain receives positive feedback. Through regular sessions, these improvements become ingrained in your brain, leading to long-lasting changes.
What does Neurofeedback training look like?
1 - 2 sessions per week
45-60 minute sessions
20 - 30 sessions*
* The number of sessions required may differ based on the patient's condition. Patients with more complex conditions might require additional sessions to achieve the best possible results.
