Does Your Child Struggle with ADHD and Behavior Problems?
Having a child with attention issues, impulsivity, behavior problems and hyperactivity is difficult and stressful, not only for your child but also for the entire family.
You may be exhausted from:
- Being hypervigilant about your child’s behavior
- Searching for answers or ways to better understand your child
- Trying to balance the attention needs of a child with ADHD with other siblings
- Expending an excessive level of energy needed to keep up with your child
- Watching your child struggle in school and socially
- Tuning into your child’s moods
You may have seen doctors, specialists, and mental health professionals, read books, researched online and attended lectures searching for answers.
Could neurofeedback be the solution?
Surveys of health professionals using neurofeedback estimate that over 85% of their clients successfully learn to focus, regulate behavior, and decrease impulsivity when they train on a consistent schedule.
How does neurofeedback help attention?
In many instances, people with ADHD show a pattern of slow wave activity in the brain. Neurofeedback helps regulate, speed up and stabilize this activity. In the process it calms the person and, with repetition, changes the brain to remain there without medication.
Improvement occurs because there’s been an actual change in the brain (not just a change in behavior brought on from the temporary effect of medication). These changes tend to hold once the new patterns are firmly established. Just like riding a bike, once we learn a new pattern, we’re unlikely to forget it.
What’s involved in the training?
Doing neurofeedback is similar to playing a video game, which is one reason kids generally enjoy doing it. The difference is that they move the game forward with their mind instead of a joystick. It’s that “brain power” activity that teaches their brain new, healthier patterns.

14-year-old Sai was making C’s and D’s. He had trouble understanding what he read. His vocabulary and maturity were that of someone two years younger.

She recommended he try neurofeedback training at the Center for Brain Training. After five months of training, not only did he start doing homework without assistance, but he made the honor roll for the first time in his life.

After eight sessions my son was less prone to anger and emotional outbursts, more communicative and calmer. He now spends his free time working on cars (and not playing video games). He and I have more of a normal father-son relationship. I’m amazed by the power of Bradley’s neurofeedback training. It’s been incredible, a miracle.
