Neurofeedback Brain Training As Seen In...
How To HelpYour Loved One with Autism ...
In March 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data showing that 1 in 68 children (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls) have Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Those with ASD have to struggle through difficult symptoms just to function in everyday life.
Thankfully, help is available for struggling with ASD associated symptoms. While some prefer to access support via their GP for medication or pharmaceutical interventions, some people prefer art or play therapy and others prefer more natural interventions – like Neurofeedback Brain Training.
Neurofeedback has been shown to make significant improvements in symptoms of ASD. Neurofeedback helps improve sleep patterns, manage meltdowns and emotions, sensory issues, anxiety and depression.
Neurofeedback identifies where the brain is having trouble processing information using EEG technology and through a live feed of brainwave activity produces corrections in the music to help achieve regulation over a sequence of sessions.
What is Autism?
Autism, referred to as Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a serious developmental disorder which impairs how a person thinks, feels, interacts with others, and experiences their environment. It is estimated that 1 in 70 people are on the autism spectrum. Autistic Spectrum Disorder impacts the nervous system. The range and severity of symptoms can vary widely. Common symptoms include:
-
difficulty with communication,
-
difficulty with social interactions,
-
obsessive interests and
-
repetitive behaviours.
Early recognition is important so families can be empowered and put a plan in place to best support their child or loved one struggling with ASD. It is important to note that this condition can not be cured, however behavioural, educational and therapeutic modalities such as Neurofeedback can help reduce symptoms and support development and learning and in turn affording the person a higher quality of life.
Symptoms of Autism
Neurofeedback sessions are completely natural, identifying the root of the problem within the brain to make long-lasting functional change without any negative side effects. Symptoms that can be improved by Neurofeedback sessions for those on the autistic spectrum include anxiety, stimming, emotional outbursts, ritualistic behavior, speech issues, intolerance to change, impulsivity, hyperactivity, an inability to follow direction from authority figures and social skills (see in more detail below).
Many people struggling with Autism suffer from Anxiety. Anxiety is a stress response. Our brains are wired to trigger a stress response for when we feel unsafe, vulnerable, and insecure or threatened in any way. This is a useful survival warning system for detection of potential threats or situations when our lives are in danger.
We release a surge of a stress hormone called cortisol and adrenaline into our nervous system, which then helps us to face these challenges and to remove ourselves from the situation, therefore keeping us safe.
Unfortunately our brains are unable to detect the difference between when our lives are actually in danger versus an uncomfortable situation or when a task becomes demanding. Be it real, or be it perceived your brain only knows how to do one thing. It tries to protect you by putting you into a stress response.
Neurofeedback helps regulate brain activity, so the stress response becomes regulated and therefore the person feels calmer and to have more ease in life.
One of the many struggles that those struggling with ASD, is anxiety. Continuous exposure to the stress of being unable to communicate clearly, being misunderstood, unable to express emotion clearly creates a need to self soothe and a need to calm their central nervous system.
Over time and with continuous exposure to stress (be it real or perceived), the result of the chemicals and hormones being produced, cause a state of overwhelm, constant thoughts, a feeling of overwhelm ensues and an inability to switch off often results in poor sleep patterns. This is the neurobiology of everyones brain, and it is even more heightened in someone struggling with the symptoms of Autism- Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Continuous exposure to stress can cause you to become anxious. When we experience the symptoms of anxiety, the stress response has gone too far and essentially got stuck, therefore we need to retrain our brains to understand that it doesn’t need to be in this heightened stress state.
At Brain Training Australia™ we use Neurofeedback Technology to help clients regain your sense of calm in your everyday life, naturally. We offer support face to face in Perth only, and service all other locations across Australia through the provision of DIY home rental Neurofeedback systems.

Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a highly relaxing process that is suitable for children, teenagers and adults. It is safe, natural, non-diagnostic and most importantly, non-invasive. The client is simply required to relax in a recliner armchair while the Advanced Brain Training technology detects turbulence or inconsistencies in brainwave activity using an EEG, and corrects it using auditory perception interruption as you listen to some nice relaxing music. If clients are unable to wear headphones while they undergo their session, we simply provide the feedback through speakers to make the process as enjoyable as possible.
