Another update from us too - DS is now on neurofeedback #2. DS has had over 20 sessions of neurofeedback with #1 and just started the next block of 20 sessions with #2 last week. This one actually takes our insurance and we only have to make a very small co-payment ($20) per visit!!!! Still, I don't regret seeing #1; I just wish they took our insurance and weren't so expensive.
So I say with neurofeedback it really depends who you see, what results you're seeking, what's going on with the child, and other variables. Research and read about it because neurofeedback is different than most other therapies or what most people are familiar with. I'd also suggest to look into the diet/nutrition regardless either on your own or with a specialist because it can play a key role with the brain and behaviors.
One of the advantages to neurofeedback (as opposed to other therapies) is that it is objective and evidence-based. You can get a reading of the child's actual brain activity or a brain map. This can pinpoint what specifically is going on. Either a child has excessive delta brain waves, for instance like my DS, or they don't, which is something you're unable to do solely with a clinical observation.
FYI - I've taken my DS to two neurofeedbacks and neither one had us do a full qEEG. Yesterday, I asked neurofeedback #2 about the qEEG and he said that they primarily use it if a child has been in a car accident or had a concussion/blow to the head or certain situations.
