Research Show Benefits of Neurofeedback
A research article published in Science Daily found that neurofeedback can help allieviate problems in brain activation, leading to a reduction in symptoms for autism spectrum disorder and overall functional improvment. This study raises hope for an effective, behavioral, non-medication approach for reducing the severity of autism.
At the Autism Support Center, neurofeedback has been successfully used to improve outcomes for individuals with autism, attention defecit disorder, anxiety, speech and language problems, depression and more.

Neurofeedback Scholarships Now Available!
The Center is pleased to announce the availability of two Neurofeedback Scholarships. These scholarships, valued at $1.050, will cover the costs of the initial assessment and ten treatment sessions. The scholarships are being offered to any child between the ages of six and sixteen who has a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. The child must be able to understand a cause and effect relationship and be able to sit in a chair and allow eeg sensors to be applied to their head.
Neurofeedback is a non-pharmaceutical treatment approach that has demonstrated a lot of success in treating difficulties that children on the spectrum can experience, including anxiety, depression, impulsivity, learning difficulties, lack of concentration and more.
