Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a safe, proven, easy way of helping children and adults achieve better brain health. Around for decades and growing in popularity, neurofeedback is now being offered in more locations. Neurofeedback has been shown to support sleep, trauma, emotional regulation, and learning differences like ADHD, to mention just a few. Parents and kids can both benefit! Learn more about this noninvasive intervention below. Please also reference our Mental Health, Mindfulness, Neurodiversity, Neurofeedback Adoption Access Program (NAAP), Sensory Supports and Trauma pages for more resources.
