Training for Success in a Child with ADHD

Abstract

This article presents a case study to illustrate how children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be assessed and successfully trained using neurofeedback. There is established efficacy for using neurofeedback to treat ADHD (Arns, De Ridder, Strehl, Breteler, & Coenen, 2009; Gani, Birbaumer, & Strehl, 2009; Gevensleben et al., 2009). Indeed, the American Academy of Pediatrics gave biofeedback Level 1 efficacy in its 2012 review (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2012), the same level of efficacy as is given to medications. The other condition that has sufficient randomized controlled studies to establish efficacy for electroencephalogram biofeedback is epilepsy (Tan et al., 2009). This case is presented to share techniques that will help clinicians conduct neurofeedback appropriately so that good results are obtained. The future of our field depends on every practitioner doing a quality job with excellent outcomes.

“…) found smooth bromegrass receiving 5.0% of incident radiation did not survive for 1 year. Santhirasegaram and Black (1965) which allowed greater radiation penetration through its canopy. This investigation has shown that only when natural weed competition for solar energy is less severe that the competition from a less-dense oat companion will allow more radiation to undersown forages.…”

“…As suggested by Santhirasegaram and Black (1965) companion crops of short stature with short, erect leaf blades would theoretically allow greater penetration of radiant energy to undersown forage seedlings and result in production of more vigorous plants. Although such companion crops would reduce competition for solar radiation, they would still deplete large amounts of soil moisture.…”
