My son is type whose mind wanders easily if not interested in something obviously causing problems in school and other areas. Hes not hyper just not attentive to that he considers unimportant.
We hear about Bioneurofeedback where the brain learns to make to pathways for communications.
We've already had 9 or so sessions with my son (needs 20 standard) but I see a real difference. It's something to look into as an option. In 2009 in collaboration with researchers from Tübingen University (Germany), Radboud University (Nijmegen, the Netherlands), Brainclinics and EEG Resource Institute a meta-analysis was conducted on published research about Neurofeedback treatment in ADHD.
Look it up on Wikipedia.
Its totally not weird and doesn't hurt the kid at all and is not invasive.

I just started it for my totally smart 9-year-old daughter, who has undiagnosed learning problems, I.e. "can't" learn. I'm davening for it to make a difference!

interesting. How do you find a practitioner? And does it wear off with time, like the hydraulic stuff?

One of my children is also starting this; I'm glad to hear of people who've had success with it!

Those of you that have tried Neurofeedback - how's it going?

I'm taking an intelligent guess by saying, insurance probably doesn't pay?

I did it for myself- I think the results were strong, but temporary. Let me know what happens!

I'm interested in neurofeedback for my son, and I saw that some of you have done it a while back. Are you in the NY area? Do you know someone who does it that anyone can recommend?
