How can Neurofeedback help Autism Spectrum Disorder & Asperger's Disorder?

Individuals with Autism and Asperger's typically have overaroused nervous systems.  Neurofeedback helps by encouraging the brain, and thus the nervous system itself, to achieve calmer, more efficient states. Once the brain has learned these skills, it will want to use them every day.  This helps them attention better, have fewer meltdowns and temper tantrums, sleep better, and wake up better.

Neurofeedback is non-invasive and complements other therapies, such as ABA, play therapy, and parent coaching.  We offer free consultations to discuss the process and any questions you might have.  Check out this video What is Neurofeedback?
