Testimonials: Children

"My five year old daughter was completely fixated and upset about the prospect of death.  It was an ongoing thing for months and very troubling as it was stressing her out so much.  We were ready to bring her to see some sort of child therapist/psychologist when I thought to just give NeurOptimal® a try.  One session -- and not a word or worry since! It's almost 2 months now...  Even when confronted with it head on last week when a friend at school was upset over a death in the family she didn't revert -- which astounded me!  I know if she should mention it at all again or start with any other fixation I'm going to run another session immediately.  I feel like her brain was somehow stuck on "repeat" with this fixation and the NeurOptimal® session managed to end the loop and steer her back on course".

"My son has severe cerebral palsy. After a few sessions he was calmer and his vision had improved.  He was more aware and his fits had lessened."
B.G., Bretagne, France

"I have a 5 year old boy (client), autistic and ADHD, who started to talk after the first session. He also started to focus on my eyes very well, the hyperkinesia diminished." 
Mihaela Frunza, NeurOptimal® Trainer, Sibiu, Romania

"I have a 6year old boy (client) with autism, that didn’t speak. After the first 10 min (the first session of NeurOptimal®) he started to speak more and more efficiently."
Mihaela Frunza, NeurOptimal® Trainer, Sibiu, Romania

"My research project with a school specializing in (learning disabled) kids trained six ADD/LD kids 3xs a week for 40 sessions. Four out of five began reducing their medications early on, within first 12 sessions, and by 20 sessions had stabilized at 10mgs reduction. One did not have to go on meds when she was expected to need to. All exceeded in their academics, test scores, and at least half mainstreamed back into regular high school the following year. Four years later, I've been in contact with at least half the kids and they are doing really well, even honors in mainstream high school."

"I had been working with a family… The daughter was 9 and had a rather severe case of Autism, no language, awful physical tantrums, beating her Mother until she was bruised. (The child) came to me and we did intense sessions for a month usually seeing each other 2 times a day. She left me able to speak in 5 word sentences, no more tantrums at all, was potty trained, and watching more than one movie (changing her own videos). These were enormous changes for this family! (The Child’s) behavior was so much better; she was sleeping through the night and feeling happy during the day. Her cognitive abilities changed drastically at home and at school."

"I'm very happy to have discovered NeurOptimal®  for my son. I'm sure it has helped him a lot with fits and (nervousness), alertness and connection with the [outside] world."

"We use this at home with my son. My son has autism and it creates a calming effect that stays with him for a few days."

"In the work I do around behavior NeurOptimal®  has managed to create an opportunity for children to realize their abilities and potential. It has allowed them to settle their (central nervous system) down enough in order to not always react to their world in fear or anxiety. This has allowed them to take in more from their environment. With this ability to 'take in' they are more able to respond to others around them rather than reacting in anger or fear. The spin offs to this are immeasurable...kids aren't as alienated by their reactions, they make friends, they can problem solve better, they can join in activities more...they are included more. They belong."

"I trained an epileptic 17 yr old who stopped taking his meds without his mother knowing it, didn't seizure since then, and now he has a drivers license. He only trained 20 sessions."

"An eight year old (client) autistic male who was very anxious around people and who would cling to his mother and not enter a room if other people were in the room. He now runs up to the secretaries and hugs everyone. He recently wrote a booklet about what 'bad food" does to your body and passed it out at a Green Festival. He and his siblings, whom I also see, are recovered from autism."
Mary Price, Tidewater Neurofeedback Center, Mt. Pleasant, SC


"I'm quite impressed with the speed at which I see improvement in the kids with ADD. I first started NeurOptimal® with my 10 years old son three years ago and saw amazing results after just five sessions. He enjoyed watching the movies and we completed 20 sessions. His grades showed a definite improvement, at last he could concentrate enough to read a book and he felt much calmer and more confident in school. He recently came to ME and asked for a tune up!" 
L.H., Biot, France

"A number of boys with ADHD who after five to eight sessions report feeling "normal" - that they can now control their reactions "just like the other kids can". They feel like they are now the same as others and that they fit in with the rest of the group. Recently a 15yo boy (13 sessions so far) told me about recommending NeurOptimal®  to his 15yo mate who he usually spent time in detention with after getting into trouble at school. My client reported that he now would tell his mate to "forget it" when he suggested that they get into mischief, and was now quite intolerant of his mate's attitudes and behaviours, and was spending less and less time hanging around with him."

"Working with adoptive families that are struggling, NeurOptimal® has provided catalytic energy for adoptees to settle and experience the beauty of co-regulating and co-creating meaning of their lives with their adoptive parents while building safer, healthier attachments."  
Joseph Kohley, NeurOptimal® Trainer, Jenison, MI

“I homeschool my son so I am with him 24/7 pretty much and to be honest I have noticed NO difference UNTIL today!  I am interested to see if it is the same tomorrow. 
Today we actually finished school by lunch which is a first since we started several weeks ago.  I read Jesse a brief passage of about 4 paragraphs and we summarized it together.  While I read he actually sat with his hands folded in his lap and listened attentively to the entire thing which he NEVER does.  His attitude towards his school work was much better today, I think he only complained once.  He is a good reader but gets distracted and needs to be redirected every 4 words or so.  Today he read his story straight through.  These are major, major things.”

Next day:  “Today has been another amazing day for Jesse.  He focussed at school and also spent a great deal of time carefully painting in a picture which I have rarely, if ever, seen him do.”
