Thriving with Autism through Neurofeedback Therapy

Are you looking for a tool that will get you faster and further results?

In the beginning, an autism diagnosis can feel devastating.

Some moments are brilliant, while others are a confusing tangle of meltdowns that may even include violence.

In those moments, void of hope, you would do almost anything to make it stop.

Sometimes it simply comes down to how you use—and diffuse—a situation.

Louloua Smadi understands this desperation well. Her brother, Milo, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at two and a half years of age. Today, he is training to become a professional pastry chef.

It’s the years in between that she shares in her book, From Client to Clinician: The Transformative Power of Neurofeedback Therapy for Families Living with Autism and Other Special Needs.

Everything began to change when the family met Dr. Lynette Louise. Her integrative approach using neurofeedback and play was the catalyst that helped Milo to thrive and grow. Louloua even used the therapy herself to overcome poor concentration and focus.

Greatly impressed with her own improvements, she was inspired to become a practitioner herself. Her path from client to clinician illustrates the different approaches to healing using neurofeedback and highlights the gap between the research and clinical worlds.

Whether you are a parent, caregiver, therapist, or potential client, this book will help you gain a clear understanding of neurofeedback therapy and how this personal and holistic therapy can help you or your loved ones overcome a challenging diagnosis.
