Autism Spectrum Disorder and Neurofeedback
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, social interactions, and behavior. It is characterized by a wide range of symptoms and levels of functioning.
Neurofeedback has shown promise as a complementary method for working with individuals with ASD. Research shows that neurofeedback can help with:
- Improving attention and concentration
- Reducing anxiety
- Emotional regulation
- Improving social skills
- Reducing repetitive behaviors
Individuals with autism often show specific patterns of brain activity. Neurofeedback training enables learning self-regulation of these patterns, which can lead to improvements in daily functioning.
It's important to note that neurofeedback is not a cure for autism, but a complementary method that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
