Hope for Autism!
Hope for Autism!
Is there hope for Autism? A resounding YES, said Dr Joseph Guan — one of Asia’s foremost pioneers in the science of Neurofeedback, at a recent conference on autism in Bangkok. We helped to connect Dr Guan from Singapore’s Brain Enhancement Centre, to Thailand’s main association for autism, (which translated in English is) the Association of Parents of Thai Persons with Autism.
During his presentation recently, Dr Guan explained how Neurofeedback has been proven to help not only autism but any other brain disorder or deficiency including Parkinson’s, depression, insomnia, memory loss, bipolar, psychosis, ADD and more. Though new in Asia, Neurofeedback has been in use in the U.S. for the past thirty years A non-invasive treatment, neurofeedback uses the EEG of the brain in order to create new challenges for the brain to attain. Much like increasing the speed of a treadmill or adding on heavier weights to build muscles, the therapy focuses on making the brain strengthen itself, to repair its deficiencies, by setting conditions which the brain responds to. CTM is looking into getting a grant so as to purchase the machine and get the training needed, in order to open a center in Bangkok .
Another NFB seminar
Introducing Neurofeedback — We were also invited by the Christian Care for the Disabled (CCD) to introduce the science of Neurofeedback to their team of 30 fulltime staff and international volunteers.
The CCD have a total of 500 autistic, cerebral palsy and disabled children receiving their care at different centers. With research and a powerpoint presentation provided by Dr Joseph Guan from the Brain Enhancement Centre, CTM’s Debbie Ekner explained the vision and the use of Neurofeedback(NFB) treatment ( in brief: a non-invasive ‘treadmill’ for the brain which trains the brain to improve & maximise its ability to function), emphasizing that there is hope for autism, cerebral palsy and many other brain deficiencies and weaknesses. NFB creates synapses and is able to repair deficient parts of the brain. Khun Wasan, director of the CCD Thailand, provided a running translation for the Thai staff and in doing so, he more fully understood what it is all about. We hope to open a NFB center in Bangkok . However, at the close of our seminar, Khun Wasan also concluded that CCD could definitely use neurofeedback to help those under their care.
lol. that is a great idea! 🙂
this blog should someone print out and installed on every theatre in the world
I can agree with you but of course this isnt the case… another thing: what would everyone do if you had 5 billion dollar?
