Neurofeedback in Charter Schools

This email came over my desk awhile ago:

“I work in a charter school in Asheville, NC that has had a neuro feedback program in place for several years. Results with the ADD/LD population (among others) have been impressive, especially when compared to outcomes using traditional intervention methods alone. We are in the process of collecting data to document the success we are having.

The school employees two NFB providers – myself and a special education teacher (also BCIA certified). We consult weekly with Dr. Phil Ellis who provides NFB to students at the school receiving NFB for non educational concerns. Dr. Ellis is in large part responsible for establishing and growing the program at Evergreen. We are always happy to share our journey.”
