Biofeedback for Specific Learning Disability (SLD) in Bangalore

A type of Biofeedback, called EEG biofeedback or neurofeedback has been found effective in the treatment of patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) who often have a high rate of comorbidity with learning difficulties. It helps in improving attention and remediating reading disability. When a child has a learning disability, there is dysfunction in certain parts of the brain that EEG biofeedback can help correct. It can help remediate blood flow, metabolism abnormalities, connectivity or timing dysfunctions present in certain brain areas in a child with SLD. It also helps increase concentration and working memory. It can be used in conjunction with other treatment options such as counselling or used as a stand-alone treatment.
We offer Biofeedback therapy for SLD in Bangalore. Our trained psychologists conduct biofeedback therapy sessions as well as offer adjunct counselling sessions to make the treatment plan for the child with SLD most effective.

Overview

EEG biofeedback, also known as neurofeedback, has been shown to be an effective intervention in the treatment of Specific Learning Disability (SLD). Various case studies of children with learning disabilities show improvements after neurofeedback in auditory memory and reading memory, in addition to increased self-confidence, ability to orally present information in school, and greater fluency in reading for some children. EEG biofeedback has also shown to increase the IQ scores of children with SLD in some cases, with an average improvement of 19 points, as measured by the Wechsler’s IQ test.
Biofeedback therapy could be of various types which include –
• Electromyography (EMG), which measures muscle tension,
• Electrodermography (EDG), which measures the electrical activity in the skin,
• Electroencephalography (EEG)/ Neurofeedback, which measures the activity of brain waves,
• Pneumography, which measures the movement of chest/ abdomen while breathing,
• Photoplethysmography (PPG), which measures heart rate variability, heart rate, and peripheral blood flow.

How effective is Biofeedback for SLD?

EEG biofeedback is effective for children with SLD in improving auditory memory, reading memory, reading fluency, etc.

Is Biofeedback for SLD safe?

Biofeedback therapy, including EEG biofeedback, is generally considered a safe treatment option with any side effects, if present, being mild and temporary. However, for certain medical conditions it may not be advisable, moreover it is best to get physical evaluation done before starting with the sessions.

How many numbers of sessions are required?

The number of sessions differs for each individual depending on their type of SLD, the severity of their disability, as well as how effective EEG biofeedback sessions are for them.
