NEUROFEEDBACK TREATMENT FOR AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS
Level 1 Efficacy
(Not sufficiently investigated)One case study of an 8- year-old boy with mild autism reported the effect of neurofeedback. After 31 sessions, the boy showed positive changes in all the diagnostic dimensions defining autism in the Mental Disorders-III-Revised (Sichel, Fehmi, & Goldstein, 1995).
Review of 60 Cases
– Principles and Outcome, Dr. L. Thompson, Ph.D.Autistic spectrum disorder clients have primary deficits in their ability to interpret social communications (innuendo, abstract meaning), appropriately initiate and maintain social interactions, handle anxiety, shift mental set, and sustain external attention span and response control. These deficiencies correspond to patterns observed on the EEG that can include slowing at Pz, P4, T6, F4 and PF1 and differences in coherence and comodulation from normal data bases. This presentation will list symptoms of PDD (Autism) and Aspergers syndrome; describe typical cases; outline assessment and intervention; and give an overview of results of neurofeedback training with >60 cases, ages 5-51 including some with long-term follow-up.
