Neurofeedback is useful in treating many conditions and disabilities. The brain is amazingly adaptable. It can learn to improve its own performance if it is given the right cues about what to change. Gradually, the brain learns, just like it learns anything else. And as with other learning, the brain tends to retain the new skill.
Neurofeedback training is painless and non-invasive.
Small sensors are placed on the scalp and ears, which are connected to an EEG computer. The practitioner helps the client to understand these brain waves and provides cues for the client to use to alter them. I have seen first hand the frustration and suffering continued attentional deficits bring to children and their families. As a teacher, I've utilized all the conventional techniques to enhance children's academic and social skill. Despite the improvements I observed as a result of these methods, I was dissatisfied with the overall progress.
