Autism and Special Needs Seminar (November 2018)

Recent Advancements in Connectivity-Guided Neurofeedback for Autism Spectrum Disorders: Connectivity-Guided Neurofeedback (CGNFB) makes functional, lasting improvements in the brain, reducing Autism (ASD) symptoms. Powerful, 4-Channel Connectivity-Guided Neurofeedback reduces the number of sessions required for optimal change in half. Examples of ASD brain maps and case studies demonstrating symptom reduction with four channel CGNFB will be presented.

46th Annual Autism Society National Conference (July 2015)

Connectivity Guided Neurofeedback (CGN) is an advanced form of Neurofeedback that has demonstrated efficacy in improving symptoms for Autism. This presentation focuses on what the QEEG reveals about the autism brain and how CGN works to make functional, lasting changes in the brain. Research and case illustrations of new four-channel CGN training will be reviewed.

The Benefits of Connectivity Guided Neurofeedback with ASD – Latest Studies and Clinical Outcomes

2014 Illinois Special Needs Expo (May 2014)

Brain Mapping & Connectivity Guided Neurofeedback for Autism; Latest Research and Clinical Outcomes: Connectivity Guided Neurofeedback is an empirically based, advanced type of neurofeedback shown to significantly reduce autism symptoms in clinical studies. Using this neurofeedback method in her clinic, Ann Rigby will discuss how brain maps have improved and symptoms of autism have decreased an average of 50% in those completing neurofeedback training at The Neuroconnection Clinic. Ms. Rigby will also review how Connectivity Guided Neurofeedback can make changes in seizure frequency and intensity in Autism cases, improving functioning in the areas of cognition, attention, communication and social pragmatics. The latest findings of the long-term effects of Neurofeedback with children will also be discussed.
