Traumatic Brain Injury: TBI

Someone you know has an undiagnosed Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) disability

TBI facts:

• An estimated 5.3 million men, women, and children are living with a permanent TBI-related disability in the United States today.
• Cognitive, emotional, and sensory impairments often permanently alter a person’s vocational, social and family relationships—an invisible epidemic.

Keller [63] demonstrated with a group of 12 patients with TBI that ten sessions of EEG biofeedback improved attentional abilities (in 8 patients) and were superior to ten 30-minute sessions using two standard software computerized attention-training programs [64,65]. Entire article

TBI story from Mill Valley, CA
Our son was diagnosed with ADHD and dysgraphia after three “ordinary” falls at age 5. We tried many therapies, with only slight improvements, and kept searching for a way to return his brain to normal functioning. He is 20 now, and we finally found it.

The Low Energy Neurofeedback System is a recent development in brainwave biofeedback that can restore optimal mental functioning. LENS is an enormously significant treatment breakthrough, one of the most important developments in decades. It’s like pushing the reset button on your brain. The brain returns to its natural, healthy state.

The lens process does not require concentrated effort over forty sessions, like traditional entrainment neurofeedback—our son could not have sat still for that!  Lens treatments are passive and only last a few minutes.

After 15 treatments our son is a changed person.  We watched him improve from only being able to tolerate thirty minutes of study, to concentrating for three hours straight. For the first time since age five he feels socially confident.  And for the first time in class, he can focus on facts long enough to remember them. His explosive frustration is gone. His underlying kind and happy nature is now normal, even in challenging situations.

I only wish I had known about LENS neurotherapy sooner.  Thank you, Len Ochs, for developing it, and thank you, Echo Rock Therapy Center, for making it available. They say it only works for 85% of people, but with such a life-changing payoff, I consider those odds fantastic.
