What is Neurofeedback?Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback or neurotherapy, utilises advanced technology to analyze brain patterns and identify any abnormalities. Once detected, these patterns can be modified through the use of audio and visual cues, effectively altering the timing and activation patterns in the brain. Unlike traditional treatments that target specific conditions, neurofeedback gradually guides the brain back to its normal ranges, allowing it to regain a healthier pattern. This process of identifying and correcting irregularities has been proven to alleviate a variety of conditions, providing relief without the need for medication or chemical intervention. Neurofeedback is not a new concept; it has been successfully employed for many years to assist patients with diverse diagnoses and issues, and it continues to advance and refine its techniques.

What is neurofeedback brain training?Neurofeedback brain training is a non-invasive and drug-free therapy that helps children improve their brain function. During a neurofeedback session, children play games or watch videos while their brainwaves are monitored using electrodes placed on their scalp. The neurofeedback system provides real-time feedback to the children, which helps them learn how to regulate their brainwaves. With regular practice, neurofeedback brain training can help children improve their attention, focus, and emotional regulation. It is an effective therapy for children with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other neurological disorders.

How does neurofeedback work?Neurofeedback therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach individuals how to regulate their brain function.

By observing their brain activity in real-time, individuals can learn to control their brainwaves and improve their mental state.

Is neurofeedback covered by NDIS?At Neurofeedback for Kids, we understand that accessing therapy can be a challenge for many families, particularly those with children who have neurological or developmental conditions. That's why we're often asked whether our neurofeedback therapy services are covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The short answer is that it depends on your child's specific NDIS plan. Neurofeedback therapy may be covered under the category of "improved daily living," which includes therapies and services that help individuals develop skills and independence in their daily life. However, it's important to note that not all NDIS plans will cover neurofeedback therapy. If you're unsure whether your child's NDIS plan covers neurofeedback therapy, we recommend speaking with your NDIS planner or support coordinator. Our team at Neurofeedback for Kids is also here to help answer any questions you may have about accessing our services through the NDIS.

Does neurofeedback therapy have any side effects?Neurofeedback therapy is a non-invasive and safe treatment option for children. It does not use medications or any invasive procedures. There are no known major side effects of neurofeedback therapy. However, some children may experience mild headaches, fatigue, or dizziness after a session. These side effects usually go away within a few hours. It is essential to talk to your child's doctor about any concerns you may have before starting neurofeedback therapy.
