Autism Spectrum

Autism Spectrum and BrainCore Therapy Neurofeedback

Dysregulated brainwaves can be closely associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Individuals with ASD often exhibit atypical patterns of brainwave activity, which can contribute to the core symptoms of the disorder, including difficulties with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors.

Research suggests that individuals with ASD may have alterations in various brainwave frequencies, such as increased theta activity and reduced alpha and beta activity. These dysregulated brainwave patterns may impact sensory processing, attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive functioning.

Neurofeedback training has shown promise in helping children on the autism spectrum, with numerous clinicians and research studies supporting its effectiveness. Parents often observe initial improvements in their children’s ability to manage emotions, stay calm, and reduce overwhelming feelings.

One significant study, “Assessment-Guided Neurofeedback for Autistic Spectrum Disorder,” conducted by Dr. Robert Coben and Dr. Ilean Padolsky, involved 37 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The results indicated improved ASD symptom ratings for 89% of the participants based on the ATEC scale, as reported by parents. 

This scale encompasses various symptoms associated with ASD, indicating the potential of neurofeedback to alleviate these symptoms and improve overall functioning in children on the autism spectrum.

BrainCore Therapy neurofeedback employs biofeedback technology to promote healthier brain patterns. In Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the brain often exhibits dysregulation, with excessive connectivity in some areas and deficient connectivity in others. 

Research suggests that neurofeedback can help regulate brain function by targeting areas of abnormal connectivity, leading to symptom reduction and positive outcomes. It’s important to note that neurofeedback does not treat or cure ASD but aims to alleviate symptoms by enhancing brainwave patterns.

What improvements have been noted with Neurofeedback in ASD?

Unlike medication or supplements, BrainCore Therapy neurofeedback offers benefits beyond the training period. Sustainable outcomes are achieved as the brain learns healthier patterns, akin to learning to ride a bike. 

The goal is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families by improving cortical function and promoting self-regulation. With no long-term side effects, neurofeedback, combined with a comprehensive approach, including nutritional support, offers lasting improvements in areas of dysfunction.
