For educators interested in neurofeedback treatment for ADHD

Neurofeedback is an approach to treating ADHD that has been around for many years and that continues to generate significant interest - and questions. Because of the ongoing interest in neurofeedback, this issue of Attention Research Update reprints an article I wrote several years ago that reviews the current state of the research support for neurofeedback as a treatment for ADHD.

While a number of neurofeedback studies have been published since this article was published - see www.helpforadd.com/2014/april.htm for a review on one interesting example - I believe many of the issues raised below still apply.

If you are interested in neurofeedback, I'd also invite you to view a webinar I presented with a colleague several months ago titled 'What parents should know about neurofeedback treatment for ADHD'. The webinar is free and can be accessed on the ADDitude magazine site at https://www.additudemag.com/webinar/neurofeedback-adhd/. Although the webinar was developed specifically for parents, I think it is a good general introduction to the topic & may be of interest to you.

You can also find a brief video overview of a new approach to neurofeedback training that I helped develop at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSWJa0JndHs&t=116s David Rabiner, Ph.D.  Research Professor  Dept. of Psychology & Neuroscience  Duke University
