Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder and the Benefits of Neurofeedback Therapy

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) symptoms often become noticeable around the ages of two or three.

  • Common signs include difficulties with social interaction, limited eye contact, repetitive behaviors, impulsivity, delayed speech, and challenges in recognizing others' emotions.

  • Additional symptoms may involve anxiety, intense focus on specific interests, irregular mood patterns, and trouble paying attention.

• While traditional treatments often include medication, there are alternative therapies available. At The Center for Integrated Therapies, we offer neurofeedback therapy designed to help address ASD symptoms by training the brain to self-regulate.

​

What Is Neurofeedback?

• Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, passive therapy that helps children and adults learn to control their brain function.

• Using advanced BrainCore equipment, we monitor brain wave activity and provide feedback through audio or video signals. Positive feedback is given when the brain exhibits desired activity, encouraging self-regulation over time.

• This method can reduce unwanted symptoms associated with ASD and other conditions such as behavioral challenges, anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

​

What to Expect During a Session:

• During a neurofeedback session, your child will be connected to sensors that monitor brain activity. Our software detects when the brain functions optimally, rewarding your child with a movie, game, or sound.

• This positive reinforcement helps the brain learn new, healthier patterns of operation, which can improve ASD symptoms.

​

Neurofeedback has been shown to improve various symptoms of ASD, including:

• Greater comfort with touch and physical contact
