Drug Free Therapy For Learning Disabilities

     Learning Disabilities are heart breaking for all involved -- a child's self esteem is sacrificed; parents are emotionally pained and physically drained; teachers are perplexed and frustrated.
     Those with a difficulty learning specific subjects or tasks, such as dyslexia (serious reading difficulties) and dyscalculia (major problems with math) show the EEG (brain wave patterning) of a damaged and dysfunctional brain.
     With the NeuroCognitive Evaluation™ and Remedial Neurofeedback Training™, Learning Disabilities can end in our life time! Fears and tears can turn into fun and triumph...in just 2 -- 6 weeks.

     Brain problems are often revealed in the Quantitative EEG (computerized Brain Wave Analysis) as one (or more) of the following brain wave categories:
     * Focal slow waves or spikes in one or more brain areas.
     The EEG signature of localized brain damage or dysfunction (learning difficulty's root), is focal slow waves. In those with Dyslexia, for example, slow brain wave activity can be found in one or more key areas: The occipital lobes at the back of the brain, where incoming visual information is received and processed; Wernicke's area, just above and behind the left ear, where the brain processes words for understanding; Broca's area, in the left front of the brain, where words are put together for expression; and the sensory motor area, where speech is put into motion for verbalization of thoughts.
     Less commonly, areas of focal brain damage are seen as spike or sharp wave activity, the EEG sign commonly seen in those with seizures and various types of epilepsy. Instead of local brain cells being "lazy" and not able to do their job, the cells are irritated and firing erratically -- proper brain performance cannot occur.

     Our brain uses its 8 -- 13 cycles per second Alpha waves to idle itself, to rest areas not actively processing and acting on incoming sensory and motor information. While this idling is a normal and favorable phenomenon for the idling brain, if Alpha wave activity becomes "locked" and non-yielding, active participation of vital brain areas cannot occur with efficiency.
     The frontal lobes are the areas most commonly affected by excessive and non-reactive Alpha. Our brain uses its frontal lobes to focus attention outside itself, and to understand the complexities of the world. It is not unusual to find high amplitude, frontal Alpha in those failing academically, and those having trouble meeting job demands.
     To process incoming information that requires us to think and act consciously, our brain uses Beta, a fast brain wave frequency, to energize specific areas in its cortex. If Beta is deficient, either all over or in small areas, the brain may have insufficient energy to perform classroom and work place tasks at peer group standards.
     Excessive Alpha and Beta brain activity is also the brain's most reliable signature for depression, a common side effect of Learning Disabilities.

    Our brain talks to itself to understand the complexity of the world, and to make and execute decisions about how to best function in it. Coherence is the EEG measurement of how efficiently the brain is able to perform this self-talk.
     The brain does much of its work by rapidly connecting and disconnecting different parts of itself. To accomplish a particular task, for example, the brain often links two or more specialized regions. After the task is complete, the brain energetically releases these areas so it can connect with other parts of itself.
     Excessive Coherence measurements in the QEEG indicate two or more areas of the brain are "fused." That is, the brain has become energetically "fused together" and not able to efficiently process and execute information. As a result, day-to-day performance needs may not be met.
     Deficient Coherence is the EEG sign of a brain not able to efficiently connect cortical areas to perform specific tasks.
     Those with Learning Disabilities may show either (or both) excessive and deficient Coherence characteristics; serious traumatic brain injury classically results in excessive Coherence.

A Brain Wave Analysis in those with Learning Disabilities reveals the precise areas and nature of damage or dysfunction; specific Remedial Neurofeedback Training™ protocols offer the brain information on how it can correct its dysfunctional brain wave patterning.
Ending a Learning Disability is surprisingly fast. Most children and adults are remediated in just 25 to 30 sessions -- which can be done in two to three short weeks.
