Incorporated in our Initial Clinical Assessment and Evaluation is our Initial Evaluation and an Intregrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test. It is important to us to hear what you are experiencing and needing. With your detailed information, along with our knowledge and expertise, an educated decision can be made to conclude if neuroAgility is the right place for you or your family.
Neurofeedback is the core of what we do at neuroAgility in conjunction with psychotherapy. We incorporate neurofeedback within a performance motivational model, delivered by licensed masters-level professionals. The combination is a winning strategy.
neuroAgility offers qEEG brain mapping on site at our offices. qEEG gives a picture of brain electrical activity. This is done by attaching painless, non-invasive sensors to his or her scalp and recording the signals received. With this map, neurofeedback protocols are tailored to the individual’s needs. qEEG mapping and Neurofeedback training are conducted in a comfortable office setting, at our Center, utilizing state-of-the-art computer-assisted equipment.

Strong parenting is our goal, and strong parenting requires so much communication!
Realize that a child can have difficulties paying attention for a variety of medical reasons, other than ADHD including: anemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes, thyroid disorders, sleep disorders, allergies, dietary insufficiencies of zinc and magnesium, visual problems (acuity, tracking, & convergence) and hearing problems. Make sure that your child is evaluated thoroughly by a physician before concluding a diagnosis of ADHD.
If your child is diagnosed with one of these other conditions, treat that medical problem first. If "ADHD" symptoms persist, then pursue treatment for ADHD. Parent counseling, social-skills training, EEG biofeedback, and school interventions have all been useful in promoting the success of clients with ADHD.
Here are some examples of what neuroAgility works on:
- At home, establish a weekly "planning time" to decide what skills you'd like your child to "work on". Select about six.
- Divide your child's day into four parts (before school; at school; before dinner; and after dinner). Establish what tasks your child needs to accomplish during each period (e.g. get washed, dressed, eat breakfast before school; cooperate with the teacher and complete school work; complete an afternoon chore and part of homework before dinner; finish homework, get ready for bed and go to bed without a major battle).
- Reward and punishment typically backfire with kids that have ADHD. At our clinic we are consequence specialists.
- One other major point: Yelling does not accomplish anything. Children need to be taught how to solve problems with you and their peers.
