Neurofeedback

What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback – or brain training – is a means of optimizing brain wave patterns to help us achieve emotional and mental health and well-being. Neurofeedback can help your child improve brain functioning. Myriad issues and challenges are aided by neurofeedback, including but not limited to:

improved sleep
anxiety reduction
better mood regulation
decreased impulsivity
improved concentration
improved social interaction
cognitive and emotional flexibility.

Asheville Academy offers neurofeedback treatments to their students to help them grow and develop further.

Kids who suffer with anxiety can feel hopeful about their future. By training areas of the brain responsible for a hypervigilant nervous system, anxiety can be lessened so that your child can focus on their school success and relationships with others.

Executive functioning affects most of our daily life activities. Working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control are highly interrelated skills. Neurofeedback can enhance these skills, leading to better planning and organization, less rigidity, and improved social behaviors.

When brainwave oscillations get out of rhythm, numerous difficulties can emerge. It is hard to pay attention in class if our theta waves are too high, and our brain tells us to daydream! Focus and attention can be improved with neurofeedback by encouraging the proper balance of the various brainwaves.

Research continues to show the importance of proper sleep. Neurofeedback is proven to help those with problems falling and staying asleep (in the absence of a medical condition such as obstructive sleep apnea). At times, focus, concentration, and mood benefit just by improving sleep.

Non-invasive treatment
A session of neurofeedback is relaxing and enjoyable. While watching a movie, the training software provides feedback to the brain in real-time, encouraging the brain to make the necessary adjustments.

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.

19 months later I can confirm my early instincts were 100% right. Through early meltdowns and triumphs, Christmas via Zoom, and a roller-coaster return, you have walked the talk and were there for our family in meaningful ways at every turn. "Mom" means something so different for me - I am so glad you were the mom-in-chief at AAG!
