Developmental disorders like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) impact brain function, affecting focus, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and social interactions. At Encephalon, we take an individualized approach to brain health, focusing on symptoms rather than just a diagnosis. Through neurofeedback, we help children and adults train their brains for improved self-regulation, attention, and cognitive flexibility, leading to meaningful, lasting improvements.
Neurofeedback is a science-backed, non-invasive approach facilitated by neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and create new, more efficient neural pathways. Unlike medication, which often acts as a temporary solution, neurofeedback works by training the brain to function more efficiently, leading to sustainable progress.
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder often experience:
At Encephalon, we use real-time brain activity monitoring to help regulate overactive or underactive brainwave patterns associated with ASD. Neurofeedback has been shown to improve emotional regulation, sensory processing, focus, and social engagement, helping individuals feel more at ease in their environment, and build skills of independence.
Individuals with ADHD often struggle with:
Traditional ADHD treatments often rely on stimulant medication, which can have side effects and does not address the root cause of dysregulated brain activity. Neurofeedback helps train the brain to naturally enhance focus, impulse control, and cognitive flexibility, offering a medication-free approach to improving attention and self-regulation.
At Encephalon, we recognise that no two brains are alike, even within the same diagnosis. That’s why we assess individual symptoms rather than relying solely on labels. Our process includes:
We conduct a comprehensive assessment of each individual’s unique symptoms to create a personalised neurofeedback plan tailored to their specific needs.
Tailored neurofeedback protocols designed to optimize your unique brain patterns.
During a neurofeedback session, sensors measure your unique brain activity in real time, providing specialized feedback through visual, auditory, and tactile cues to help your brain self-regulate and optimize its function.
With consistent training, the brain develops new, healthier patterns, reducing ADHD symptoms over time.

Neurofunctional and Behavioural Measures associated with Fmri-neurofeedback learning in adolescents with ADHD
Link: To read this study, click here
This study found that 48% of adolescents with ADHD successfully learned to self-regulate specific brain regions through fMRI-neurofeedback. Improvements were associated with faster processing speeds during attention tasks, suggesting that neurofeedback can enhance cognitive functions in ADHD patients.

Neurofeedback in Epilepsy: A review of the literature
Link: To read this study, click here
This review found that neurofeedback training can lead to a significant reduction in seizure frequency in individuals with epilepsy. The findings support the potential of neurofeedback as a complementary therapy for seizure management.
By strengthening the brain’s natural ability to self-regulate, neurofeedback empowers individuals with Autism, ADHD, and other developmental challenges to experience improvements in focus, emotional resilience, and overall well-being.
