Does Neurofeedback help with Autistic Spectrum Disorders?
Studies have shown significant improvements for Autistic children as a result of Neurofeedback. Symptoms improved include: Lower anxiety levels, better speech, more relevant speech, improved orientation to the world, less obsessiveness and improved empathy. As with any complex disorder, Neurofeedback is best used in conjunction with other interventions. In the case of ASD help with speech, behaviour management and academics are almost always beneficial. Also, with ASD a thorough investigation of nutritional issues should be undertaken with a Physician who specialises in Nutritional Medicine.
