Neurodivergence and self-regulation
Autistic people experience sensory input, social situations, and physical signals in different ways. Training is not intended to remove autism, but to address specific difficulties and abilities chosen with the person.
Sensory overload, transitions, sleep problems, high tension, or managing attention may affect daily life. Other characteristics are not experienced as problems and do not need treatment.
Goals are agreed with the autistic person and, where appropriate, with parents or support people. Communication, sensory needs, and breaks are taken into account when appointments are planned.
Autism is not diagnosed from an EEG. Before training, we review existing assessments, current support, medication, sleep, and the specific situations the person wants to change.
Neurofeedback and biofeedback should not displace appropriate educational, psychological, medical, or speech and language support.
Neurofeedback provides simple feedback on selected EEG activity. Biofeedback can display breathing, heart rate, or muscle tension. Stimuli, screen presentation, and session length are adjusted where possible.
Some people use training to work on self-regulation, attention, or responses to overactivation. Usefulness must be assessed individually. Evidence varies by goal and protocol.
Possible cause
These challenges may be related to distinctive neural stimulus processing and a particularly sensitive nervous system.
How neurofeedback can help
Individualized neurofeedback training can contribute to emotional regulation, focus, and sensory balance – gently, non-invasively, and without medication.
