Neuro-feedback Holidays
Take a two-week family holiday to Greece and whilst there, have your children treated for ADHD or Dyslexia using Neuro-feedback training. That is the idea behind Neuro-Feedback Holidays. Their websites offers little information about the treatment or any research demonstrating the effectiveness of the system so think carefully before booking.
UPDATE: The holidays seem to be run by the same Beverly Steffert who also runs Learning Recovery.

Comments on: Neuro-feedback Holidays
This is pretty funny. It sure looks sketchy, but I can see how it might be effective. Centers like this for controlling fibromyalgic pain could be immensely popular.
I do wonder, though, how the relatively low resolution of those eeg nets might be affecting their results. And there may be a certain resolution beyond which there are no additional benefits. Hard to know… Too bad those things are still too expensive for individuals.

I went on this holiday with my ADD/Dylexic son. My 12 Y/O sons reading age was 8yr 6 months in May and 11yrs 3 months in August after the neurofeedback holiday. When I asked him what difference Neurofeedback made he said ” it doesn’t hurt when I read now”
23 people went on the holiday most said they had benifit from it two cases made big improvements.
Neurofeed back is big in the states.
