Neurofeedback is biofeedback for the brain.
It is a non-invasive technique that helps the brain self-regulate. We simply measure brain activity using sensors and special software, and relay that information back to the brain in real time via audio and video display.
This information about its own activity helps the brain adjust itself and correct problematic behavior. Improving the brain’s self-regulation helps children function better behaviorally, emotionally and cognitively. Neurofeedback training allows children with autism to make healthy brain activity a habit, hence leading them to improve cognitive abilities like better impulse control, improved sensory and social information processing, as well as better emotional regulation.
Maharat Learning Center has collaborated with Evolve Brain Training which is an award-winning training center that promotes peak emotional, mental and physical wellness using innovative and evidence backed, non-invasive brain training techniques.

Step 3
Personalized Training Plan: Get a customized plan tailored to your child's specific needs.
Step 4
Neurofeedback Training: We begin your child's neurofeedback training sessions to help sharpen their brain.
Step 5
Final Assessments: We will repeat the neuropsychosocial assessment to track your child's progress.
Our Services
Our revolutionary neurofeedback training can help your child to manage obstacles like learning disabilities, lack of focus and anger issues, provide their brains with the right tools to correct these issues and hence improve cognitive abilities, behavior and calmness.
Consultation
Each child’s personalized training program begins with an in-depth consultation and neuropsychosocial analysis with our certified neurofeedback therapist. During this session, we will establish what emotional or behavioral goals need to be achieved. . This helps us create a customized training plan suited to each child’s specific needs.
Brain Mapping
After the initial consultation, we use quantitative electroencephalogram or qEEG brain mapping to get a further understanding of the current state of the brain. This provides us a general picture of the strengths and weaknesses of the brain. After completion of the program, we repeat the brain map to observe the physiological changes in the brain.
Continuous Performance Test
This test measures their attention span, impulse control, information processing speed and consistency of response. These scores are indicative of their performance and productivity. After completion of the training program, we repeat these tests to track the progress and improvement over time.
Symptom Tracking
An in-depth analysis will be done where the parents will be asked to rate the extent to which their child experiences each symptom, such as fatigue, mood swings, repetitive movements, etc. This provides a clear qualitative report of on-going issues. Symptom Tracking allows us to track progress between intervals.
Neuro Feedback Brain Training
Neurofeedback training works on the principle of rewiring your the brain’s patterns to enable positive and optimal function. This helps each child maximize their brain’s potential while also getting rid of negative patterns that may be hampering their everyday functioning.
We will work with your child to promote optimal physical, mental and emotional well-being, to maximize their performance in day-to-day activities, thereby improving their quality of life.
