Helping Develop Skills by Rewiring Brainwaves
Neurofeedback can address the challenges of autism in both children and adults by helping the brain develop new brainwave patterns for speech, social recognition, emotional recognition and regulation, and other areas commonly affected by ASD. Utilizing a curated set of questions and evaluation techniques, our process of Neurofeedback helps autistic individuals develop skills to improve present functioning and have a significant future impact. The lasting effects on self-esteem, relationships, and the ability to engage with life are profound.

When you come to see us at ECNF, a trained therapist will work with you to determine the symptoms that most detract from quality of life. As part of our evaluation process, we will also collect EEG data to customize protocols for brain training within your unique brainwave patterns.

All data collected in the initial evaluation will then be utilized to create the best protocols and growth areas for you or your child.

Getting Started with Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback
To get started with our Neurofeedback services, reach out to us by phone or online. After establishing your primary concerns and needs and answering your questions, we are ready to schedule your initial evaluation. Once scheduled, we will send a HIPAA-compliant welcome email with paperwork, a review of our process and the next steps.

Our initial evaluation will help us further clarify your unique needs and goals so that we can customize the best Neurofeedback training plan for you. After this evaluation, we are ready to begin your feedback sessions!

From here, in each session, we will track specific symptom improvements that are the best indicator of your brain learning and progress. Using the most evidence-based methods and your unique goals, we will work closely with you throughout the process, assessing when your brain has sufficiently learned to ensure lasting results. Then you’re done! Once brain learning has reached a plateau, these gains are now integrated. In the same way, we remember how to ride a bike, the brain learns through Neurofeedback and keeps and builds on these improvements!

We love what we do and hope to talk with you soon! Reach out to the Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback team today to learn more about how we can help with ASD and schedule your initial evaluation.
