Neuro-feedback

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

I was wondering if anyone could give me information or direct me to a place where I could obtain information about Neuro-feedback? Thank you.

In Irvine California there is a place called Drake Institute which does neuro/bio feedback for people who are ADD to improve their attention without medication. I have had a friend who put both of her kids through it. One was about 17 and the other was 24. It helped them for a shortwhile and then after awhile the 24 year old went back to his old inattentive ways….the other kiddo…I am not sure how she is doing now either..

My recollection of the current research mirrors what you describe. Children show gains in attention while receiving the treatment, but the gains are not permanent.
