Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
"Sometimes the most brilliant and intelligent minds do not shine in standardised tests because they do not have standardised minds."
- Diane Ravitch (Historian of Education)
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological pattern that develops in early life and often continues across the lifespan. It affects both children and adults, influencing how they shape attention, regulate impulses, process emotions, and manage energy resources. Individuals who are easily distracted, inattentive, hyperactive, impulsive and/or have trouble completing tasks are given the ADD/ADHD label, and are often prescribed medication to counteract their ‘disorder’.
​
While medications are sometimes necessary and can assist with modifying behaviour in the short term, the results last only as long as the medication is being taken. Major studies show there is no long-term correction of the problematic pattern. This is because there is no rewiring of the brain itself. Neurofeedback is different.
​Neurofeedback actively helps individuals to regulate the parts of the brain responsible for their ADHD symptoms. It rewires neural networks through systematic training over time, enabling functional patterns to replace dysfunctional ones. As a result, the brain is better able to self-regulate so individuals can maintain focus for longer periods of time without distraction. This ultimately leads to an improved ability to complete tasks and accomplish goals. ​
The Brain Training Centre provides safe, gentle and non-invasive treatment to children and adults labeled with ADD/ADHD. We have seen many life-changing results for people with this condition. Adults and children with ADHD, as well as their parents, who had previously felt overwhelmed with challenges can now enjoy their lives with increased peace of mind.
Every brain is different, and what causes one person's difficulties may be completely different to another's. Neurofeedback is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
To understand exactly how your brain is (mis)behaving, we first perform a QEEG Brain Map which gives us an objective measurement with which to guide your training. See Brain Mapping here.
The Brain Training Centre specialises in helping individuals with ADHD. Please visit the ADHD Portal for more detailed information

ADHD: Gift or Curse?
The ADHD brain is a highly sensitive organ. Imagine having a massive radar dish collecting an abundance of information which most other people don’t even notice. People with ADHD have exquisitely sensitive nervous systems - the result, it seems, of a genetic predisposition. This makes ADHD individuals highly empathic and thus able to detect subtleties in non-verbal exchanges, unexpressed emotions, artistic impressions, logical connections, and creative possibilities. Unfortunately, sometimes the vast amount of information coming in from the highly sensitive and broadband antenna that is the ADHD brain becomes overwhelming and it is hard to know how to process all of this information.
​
This is where Neurofeedback can confer enormous benefit. By training the brain to more effectively parse information we can prevent the system from becoming overloaded (we all know what it’s like to blow a fuse!). When the cognitive and limbic systems are brought into harmonious balance, the sensitivity that distinguishes the ADHD brain can be harnessed as the true gift that it is. When the limbic system is being properly regulated, the creativity, ingenuity, exuberance, leadership, empathy, and joy that truly characterises ADHD individuals can be brought forth!

'With neurofeedback the child is exercising the nerve pathways that control attention and mental processing. As these neural pathways are exercised, children develop a sense of what concentration feels like, and they get excited about it. After practicing these exercises over a period of time, the pathways involved in attention and learning seem to work more efficiently. This enhanced brain activity becomes a natural part of the child's functioning.'

At the Brain Training Centre we take an holistic approach to ADHD. We strive to support our clients and their families to better understand the dynamics of this condition and how individuals can come to be their optimal selves. It is our philosophy that the ADHD brain, when functioning well, can be an incredible gift.
