Monday, 10/11/10 or 1/17/11
7 – 9 pm

Learn how to manage child and adult ADD/ADHD by
re-training brainwave patterns using EEG technology. Neurofeedback
allows one to see and learn to control brainwave patterns through a
process much like playing a video game. Through this process,
deficient brainwaves may be increased and over-abundant brain waves
may be decreases allowing the brain to balance itself into a more
normal range. Neurofeedback can benefit cognitive ability, stress,
mood and especially attention. Training to focus in this way takes
advantage of the brain’s natural ability to learn and change without
the use of medication. Come find out how fun and effective neuro-feedback
can be for both children and adults.
