- Thoughts for Parents or Adults
on
- Home Biofeedback Training Your
Child or Yourself
Here's what we recommend
for parents considering home biofeedback training
1) Have your child evaluated by a
professional biofeedback practitioner. to determine your child will benefit from
biofeedback
2) You are working with your child's
brain. Buy our 13 hour EEG Biofeedback Foundations Video Course, so you'll have
a basic understanding of the principles and processes of neurofeedback. Watch
it.
3) Get a computerized Biofeedback training
unit. Consider purchasing Futurehealth's exhibit hall video, which shows
demonstrations from our annual meeting by many manufacturers.
-Lower cost units include Brainmaster
and Waverider.
-Procomp with Biograph is our Top of the
line unit, which most practitioners use.
4)go back to the practitioner and have the
practitioner help you devise a training program (electrode placement, prreward
and inhibit protocols) for your child, based on your
child's needs. Have the practtioner show you how to hook up the electrodes and
assess whether you have good signals or artifact.
5) Keep in touch with your practitioner,
using him or her as a supervisory resource, so you keep on track.
6) We can recommend a few people who do
remote and internet training supervision.
7) If you are considering doing home
alpha/theta training for substance abuse, alcoholism or trauma... don't!! This
protocol should only be done under the close supervision of a
psychotherapist. This is not the same as personal growth exploration of
alpha or theta training.
