How Neurofeedback Can Help Autism and Asperger's Syndrome
Autism and Asperger's Syndrome
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that is marked by difficulty interacting with others and with repetitive behaviors. Although the science is still attempting to understand the brain structures involved with ASD, research shows individuals with ASD have a shortage of brain connectivity in some areas and excessive connectivity with other areas. Neurofeedback is able to help the brain regulate connections and improve social interactions and empathy. Repetitive behaviors are often reduced or eliminated. Neurofeedback can help to reduce hyperactivity and emotional outbursts and to improve speech patterns and classroom functioning.
Neurofeedback is regulated through state, national and international licensing/credentialing. It is evidence-based and supported by the American Psychological Association. Published, high-caliber peer-reviewed research demonstrates the effectiveness of neurofeedback. Millions of people around the world have discovered the benefits of neurofeedback in improving the quality of their lives and in reducing their symptoms.
