  1. Hi there, i was wondering if you do anything to differentiate the various types of neurofeedback hardware available and marketed toward neurofeedback and ADHD. I work for a medical-grade neurofeedback provider and there is a substantial difference between, for example a 2 channel neurofeedback device and a 19 channel device. Also the FDA status of these devices should maybe be explained. If i can help in any way or guest write an article please let me know. Thanks for the great resource ADDitude.

The results have been amazing, he is able to control his anger, respond appropriately when something doesn’t go as he expected, sit and read, complete homework without a meltdown, complete writing assignments without a meltdown, excel in solution of mathematical problems. Our home has gone from loud and stressed to calm and loving. Everyone who knows him comments on the changes they have witnessed. We also use omega 3, magnesium, B complex, zinc and L-theanine too.

    The cost of the Neurofeedback was worth every penny for us.

    1. I forgot to mention, that although medication was prescribed when we were told by the school that he would need to go to a behavioral unit, we chose Neurofeedback instead. He is now a straight A student participating in a general education class. We did Neurofeedback for 6 mths. Since stopping the treatment we have not seen detrimental changes.
