How To Help ADD Without Bad Side Effects With Brainwave Entrainment

Life on the edge of sleep.

That's how a child with ADD spends most of their time. This is a true description of what a child diagnosed with attention deficit disorder experiences.

Repatterning therapy, brainwave entrainment, stimulates areas of the brain that are functioning at a low capacity, with a targeted frequency that doesn't cause any bad side effects.

ADD children can't focus for long on physical reality and return to a state of reflection and dreaming as a default--this is the alpha brainwave state.

This is exhibited by

making careless mistakes.
appearing not to listen.
being disorganized.
forgetting things.
having trouble focusing on a specific task.
speaking and acting out of turn.
not considering consequences before acting.
restlessness.

Emotionally, the child feels

anxiety.
low self-esteem.
frustration.
boredom.
tired because has trouble sleeping soundly.
hopeless.
lost because he has trouble managing time and getting along with others.

There are many different types of treatments available today and it has been noted that a combination of therapies seems to be the way to go.

Biological

medications
diet
vitamin supplements and herbal remedies
repatterning therapies such as brainwave entrainment
rebalancing therapies such as acupuncture

Entrainment

Brainwave entrainment uses auditory rhythms to stimulate and influence the nervous system.

Based on the findings of Jeff Strong (1993), our nervous systems are rhythmically organized and can be influenced by externally produced rhythms. Research shows that use of entrainment can have a positive impact on ADD. Entrainment directs the listener's brain to a desired state of consciousness.

Our brains like novel stimuli that is unrecognizable and this is especially true in ADD making entrainment very effective.

When a person with ADD listens to a specific complex rhythmic pattern, their brain is stimulated in ways that result in immediate improvement in symptoms. Many ADD have lower activity levels in one or more areas of the brain. They stay in alpha wave--a relaxed, day dreamy frequency, most of the time. This brainwave is most profound when they read or listen--explaining why they miss what is being said. They don't produce many beta waves--the alert, focused brainwave.

Brainwave entrainment, using targeted rhythms and techniques,stimulates those areas of the brain that are deficit, increasing the activity levels, providing a good alternative to medication.

Brain stimulation provides the child with

a calming effect within minutes. (When starting out, a session's effects will last a few minutes after it is done; after a week, several hours; eventually the effects are permanent).
an increased ability to regulate mood.
improved math skills.
increased language skills.
improved attention span.
less distractibility.
less impulsivity.
less hyperactivity or restlessness.
an improved learning ability

Entrainment for 8 - 10 weeks usually gives the brain time to form new neural pathways or circuits resulting in permanent changes in the brain. Topping off the brain with a session every week or so thereafter, keeps the new circuits running at full capacity.

Brainwave entrainment is an alternative therapy that can help your child with ADD, without the side effects usually produced by medications.

* P.S. Just a little note: chewing peppermint gum will raise beta wave levels quickly--in less than a minute--if your child needs a little focusing on the spur of the moment.

Autism and Educational Effects

Autism affects many aspects of a person's life. Education is one of the main areas that has to be modified in order for the child to learn what is necessary to lead a productive life. Autism and education isn't just about teaching academics, it includes various forms of therapy and approaches.

Learning Disabilities

Often, a child with autism suffers from other problems that affect the ability to understand important subjects such as reading or math. Dyslexia is often present in children with autism. This affects the ability to read, write, speak and even complete math problems.

Dysgraphia affects a child's ability to write correctly because it interferes with fine motor skills, as well as organizing thoughts well enough to put on paper. While not classified as a learning disorder, Sensory Integration Disorder directly affects a child's ability to learn information because the brain does not read and interpret information gathered from the senses correctly.

When a child with autism has learning disabilities, it makes teaching an even bigger challenge. Techniques that work for one disorder may not be affective for another. Receiving proper diagnoses is crucial in helping the school staff brainstorm ideas to work with all of the challenges the child faces. Therapy is beneficial to a child on the autism spectrum because it can reduce some of the symptoms, helping him understand his school work.

Therapy in School

Most schools offer some type of therapy to aide in the teaching process. These may include speech and language therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), sensory integration therapy and physical or occupational therapy. The types of therapy and the amount of time spent vary from one school district to another based on finances and availability of trained professionals.

Types of Classes Available

Another thing that may vary from district to district is how the school handles children with autism. Some schools keep these children in classrooms designed for those with special needs. There, they receive one on one attention and work on social skills as they interact with only a few children. This helps reduce the stress levels and possibility of too much sensory stimulation.

Other districts work to include the children in typical classes, removing them only for subjects they need extra help in. This often works well for children who are higher functioning, but may take extra time to include a child who is lower on the autism spectrum. Trying different therapies, teaching techniques and classroom situations are crucial when working with autism and education.
