Hacking My Kid’s Brain: How a Child’s Neurons Were Rewired: “An effort to recalibrate the brain of a child suffering from sensory processing disorder using light, sound and motion therapy is successful.”
(Source Wired News.)
I had a qEEG performed on my soon to be 9-year old son that supported his diagnosis of dyslexia. I am about to start dragging him to neurofeedback sessions to adjust some of the connections in his brain.
My husband thinks this sounds like mumbo jumbo and is very sceptical. I have read positive things but they have all been from within the scientific community that supports this.
Has anyone had any experience with neurofeedback and dyslexia?
Hi Jennifer. I used to run a school for kids with learning disabilities and we had some neurofeedback machines. We set up kids with attention and anxiety issues. I’ve seen anecdotal evidence that it’s helpful. I’ve also read some research that supports.
However and this is what you asked; there’s nothing I’ve come across that supports its usefulness with dyslexia.
I’m a fan of biofeedback in theory but…
Anyone else?
I went through a year of biofeedback for mild depression about 30 years ago when it was quite new on the scene. It worked wonders for me once I got in synch with it. I’ve never heard of it being used for the neurological effects of dyslexia though. While I’m dyslexic my year of therapy was about depression, not my learning issues. Yes, they’re connected but the dyslexia was right there after the depression left. Still is. My wife loves me so I guess I’m okay.
