Responding to neurofeedback
Feb 1, 2011 by AnonymousI used neurofeedback for my daughter for about a year, when she was 14. She was gong though a lot of changes at the time, very anxious. She also has other disabilities a deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4, celebral palsy and has had a stroke she walks with a limp after intensive therapy for many years. We used Conductive Education, a Hungarian technique for children with motor disorders.
The results of NFB were-she was more verbal after NFB and surprisingly her balance, gait and ability to move around improved noticeably. She also had noticeable changes in cognitive behaviour and ability to communicate.
Unfortunately she decided she no longer wanted to stay hooked up to the electrodes and TV and we had to abandon the treatment. We are using acupuncture at present, along with Neurolink, massage and homeopathy. She is now aged 20 years.

Dec 13, 2009 by AnonymousThere is a response to this posting on the ezine Conductive World'. This did not make it to this page.

I understand that comments from two other others also tried to post comments in simlar vein. They too did not make it.
Unless there is very strong case articulated to the contrary, it would be less confusing to parents. (and others) if mention of Conductive Education in relation to autism could be dropped.

Incorrect description
Dec 12, 2009 by AnonymousConductive Education is not a therapy nor is it based on the principles of the therapies listed. It is as its name suggests a method of education and has its own principles. Please do not confuse people.
