Series #32

Webinar

November 15, 2024
12pm-1pm ET

Join us for an informative webinar exploring the integration of Infra-Red Light Therapy with neurofeedback training programs at the ADD Centre. This webinar will cover: 

  • The importance of completing a thorough assessment to develop an effective intervention plan. 
  • How the ADD Centre has begun incorporating Infra-Red Light Therapy using iSyncwave technology into our neurofeedback training programs 
  • A review of results in 4 cases: two adults with ADHD plus emotional dysregulation (anxiety, depression); two children presenting with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder symptoms, one Gifted and one with low IQ 
  • Examples of pre-post data for each case and comments on results of the combined approach 

Participants will learn the details of when and how we provided the photobiomodulation therapy. We will discuss how the combination of Infra-Red Light Therapy and neurofeedback training can improve functioning in challenging younger clients who present with both ADHD and ASD and, also, enhance outcomes and client satisfaction in adult clients who want to manage symptoms of ADHD to optimize their performance. Join us to learn more about this innovative combined approach and how it can help your clients.
