Accessible Training
A Safe an Effective Approach for all Ages
Appropriate for children ages 4+, NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback has been used to alleviate the symptoms of a variety of challenges faced by NeurAlive’s youngest clients, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and learning disabilities. Brain training is particularly effective and accessible to children because they don’t have to ‘do’ anything to feel the effects. They simply sit or lie back and listen to music for the approximate 30 minute session. They can also choose to watch a movie, draw, craft, read or play lego.
Neurofeedback is deemed a ‘Level 1/best support’ according to the American Academy of Pediatrics analysis of Evidenced-Based Child and Adolescent Interventions (September 2010).

Although NeurOptimal® does not directly treat specific issues, it is a tool that helps alleviate symptoms associated with these and other conditions by improving the overall functioning of the central nervous system.
