Treat autism at the source with neurofeedback: effective, quick, and flexible
- Neurofeedback is brain self-training to treat autism at the source.
- Reverse the mechanism of action of a diagnostic marker at the site of the disorder.
- Broad symptom relief is substantial and permanent and corellated with marker.
- Pleasant, natural, non-invasive, no drugs, no adverse reactions.
- Some neurofeedback methods can be used in the home, community and school.

Neurofeedback training
Biofeedback – Neurofeedback – Neurotherapy
- In biofeedback, biological information is fed back to you. You look into a behavioral mirror and learn to influence the variations. Aim, reach, stretch. > Range, flexibility.
- Neurofeedback feeds back neurological information – EEG or HEG. Learning, exercise, maturation.
- Feedback can be numbers, lights, tones, games, or modulations in any DVD.
- The client just watches their favorite movies which occassionally dims or pause briefly until the brain is working better. If you can see it, you can control it.
- Neurotherapy or Neuromodulation is adding energy to the brain: i.e.
- CES (alpha-stim), LENS, Roshi, NeuroField, VNS, rTMS.
How is EEG neurofeedback done?
- Neurotherapist Screen
- Brain Wave
- Amplitude & Frequency
- Neurofeedback client screen
- Brain Self-Regulation
- Brain Self-Regulation
- The consious mind is the last to know.
- Neuro – factoids
Electrophysiological studies provide direct support of the “functional underconnectivity” theory of autism.
Autistic Brains
- In autism we see big spikes of intensity in slow brain waves.
- There are also disturbances in communication between sites within the brain.
- Hypoconnectivity = hyper independence.
- Everybody is shouting; nobody is listening.

3 Mom’s Report
- Eric went back to school today and his behavior was SOOO CALM!!! Eric had 0 incidents of inappropriate touching, 0 tantrums, 0 time outs and went along with everything in school.
- Aaron is a different kid. I could cry. It’s a miracle. He’s excited to go to school.
- Of all the different treatments Susan has received, neurofeedback is the only one that really worked.
