In recent times, the problems of attention deficit disorders have become
more widely recognized. These problems not only affect impairment in
concentration, but also affect behavior (impulsively), and self-esteem.
If left untreated, these problems follow into adulthood. Until recently,
the treatment has been by the use of powerful stimulant medications such
as Ritalin. Although these medications can be very effective, there are
problems associated with them. These drugs are short acting, wear off
quickly and have no curative effects. They also can cause insomnia, loss
of appetite, and agitation..

A new, exciting and effective alternative treatment for ADD/ADHD has been
discovered in the past 15 years with the use of electroencepholographic
biofeedback. Studies have shown that there are specific brain waves that
are associated with various mental states. In the daydreaming state, slow
moving brain waves known as Theta waves dominate. In the more focused or
alert state these Theta levels drop, while faster moving Beta waves
increase. EEG biofeedback trains the child (or adult), to learn to
concentrate better by learning to control these brain wave activities .
In doing so, impulsive behaviors decrease and school performance and
self-esteem increase. The treatment is completely noninvasive and with
computer driven games is fun and stimulating for children.
