Learn how neurofeedback works:

Non-invasive treatment
A session of neurofeedback is relaxing and enjoyable. A session consists of listening to music that prompts the brain to reset itself. At the end of a session, your child will feel less stressed and more relaxed.
Based on learning
As you practice changing brain waves, the brain is learning how to continue the changes outside of the session. The continued learning is supported throughout your child’s time at Asheville Academy.
Regulates brain waves to create lasting change
Sessions will help your child now and in the future. Many neurofeedback clients report changes they obtain from trainings are continuing 10 years later.
Safe and client-guided
No chemical or electrical impulse ever enters the body. At the end of each session, your child can give feedback on how it went.
