Licensed since 1984
I've been interested in helping children with Attention Deficit Disorder
and Autism since I was in High School. I completed my first research
study on Biofeedback and ADHD children when I was in college. I have
always been frustrated by doctors who don't complete a thorough
evaluation and then misdiagnose ADD (more than one third of the time).
Even more disappointing is professionals who are not open to any
treatments other than stimulant medications for ADD, although
Neurofeedback (EEG Biofeedback) for the treatment of ADD has been
researched in the scientific literature since 1976. In fact, we actually
published the first and most controlled study of Neurofeedback with
children with ADD & learning disabilities in 1993.
Since 2000, I have been conducting research, discovering subtypes of
Autism and Asperger's. We have found at least 5 subtypes of Autism and 2
subtypes of Asperger's. Many of the Autistic children have abnormal EEG
patterns, even mild seizures, that can only be seen in EEG tests. More
than half of the Autistic individuals that we have tested have over
aroused brain patterns, which are often aggravated by stimulating
medications (i.e. Ritalin, Prozac).
It has been very rewarding providing more accurate testing for children,
adolescents & adults since 1988, when I conducted research on using
EEG brainwaves to assess children with ADHD compared to those with
other behavior problems. Frequently adults will be so relieved to
discover that they have ADD that they cry in my office. At that moment
they realize that many of their life long problems are not their fault
and that they are not "lazy or stupid." Parents who come to our ADD
Treatments Centers are often so frustrated that they want to send their
students away to treatment centers or boarding school, or hold them
back. Often their schools refuse to test their children (most schools
actually don't test for ADD) or pressure them to place their children on
medication. Sometimes, students refuse to take their medication.
My greatest satisfaction is watching an ADD child's grades and self
esteem increase. Similarly, hearing about improvements at home and work
in an adult who has struggled with ADD is personally satisfying. Since
2000, the most rewarding aspect of my work has been providing
Neurofeedback to students with Autism & Asperger's, and witnessing
the almost "miraculous" improvements in behavior, social skills and
communication. A child who begins to speak in sentences and actually
carry on a conversation for the first time is an unforgettable
experience. An adult who has their first significant relationship is a
heart warming event.
Studies indicate that the most common barriers that prevent children and
adults from receiving the best care are concerns of inadequate testing
and fears of having no choice of treatment other that medication. At The
Attention Learning Center, we provide the most accurate, computerized,
and brain imaging assessment and more individualized and successful
non-pharmalogical treatments, including Neurofeeback treatments.
My professional goal is to help as many people become aware of these
long-lasting treatments for ADD and Autistic Spectrum disorder, that do
not have side effects. I invite you to review our research and compare
it to other local centers, or to speak to some of our numerous satisfied
clients.
Have published 5 research articles in the ADD area. Recently discovered
unique subtypes of Autism & Aspergers. Dr. Linden's Neurofeedback
treatment of Autism was featured in an NBC TV special entitled "Autism -
The Hidden Epidemic".
