Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I have been trying to get an appointment for the nuerofeedback with my daughters doctor but my insurance does not cover it. The doctor that I was able to speak with told me it only works for as long as the child is using it and that after they are off of the neurofeedback they start back to how they were before. Has anyone used this for their child before? Another thing is she told me that because ADD is a behaviorial issue it is important to use firm plans and stick to it. If I am not staying on top of it that medication is the best way to stop the behavioral issues. I am still very against it though. My daughter is in the 3rd grade and is feeling hopeless about doing well. She constantly tells me she can not do well. Today she stayed on a Blue which means " peace builder " ...I told her that she could do it and took her to get frozen yogurt. I try to tell her that if she does well that she will get rewarded I dont know what it was today but its like almost been a month that school started and she has been getting red which isn't good and today she did well. I just want her to do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 There are many approaches to neurofeedback, so please be aware of that. If there are underlying health issues, neurofeedback will not usually hold or at least it wil not " get the job done " . Since you are on the list, I would have to guess this might be the case? I am a neurotherapist employing many different approaches with neurofeedback and beyond neurofeedback, you might try LENS - low energy neurofeedback system (providers are listed at ochslabs.com). This approach helps the brain change organically - it is passive neurofeedback where the brainwaves are played back to the brain. This causes the brain to become aware of its state and then it changes. Ultimately someone with expertise on assessing the developmental state of your child is your best resource. Please don't expect insurance coverage, the insurance industry is not geared to cover services, it is geared to cover people who write prescriptions.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hi, from having 2 kids w/ ADHD, and a third who we thought only had ADHD but at 12 turns out to have Asperger's, first of all a thorough, accurate assessment is vital to be sure you have a good understanding of all her problems. Second, I'm not sure I agree that ADD is a " behavioral " issue. It is a biological issue and for my kids at least, moderate doses of stimulant medication REALLY helped (as in, kept them out of the principal's office) - although others here may have suggestions for supplements, exercise or other approaches that they prefer. My niece did the neurofeedback and indeed the benefit wore off after she quit, although now she claims it " cured " her and won't acknowledge that she still has ADHD, something for which she needs to learn coping mechanisms, etc. She is 23, married and pregnant, and never finished college, for which her parents were willing to pay. She would have been a lot better off with the meds, imho. Third, there is no way you can " stay on top of it " when your child is at school and you are not there. To make that work, you need the school's cooperation with immediate rewards/consequences rather than waiting to the end of the school day to reward her. There are some excellent plans of this sort in books, one of which is " Driven to Distraction " which I found helpful. If her behavior is just irritating her teachers, etc., an individual behavior plan may help (I'm not too familiar with these, but it should be more than just a behavior contract stating what she needs to do to get a reward, it should also address preventive strategies in the school). If it's impacting her school success then I think an IEP might be warranted; you'd need to consult an advocate in your state, as I had no success getting one for my son when he " only " had ADHD.
