[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 107623, member: 3444"] We just finished 20 sessions (twice a week for 10 weeks) with difficult child 2 through our therapist. The office acquired this special software that uses electrodes attached to the scalp, ear lobes, etc. and it works with a program that my son would interact with. He had to stay calm and focused during the various exercises and the electrodes would measure the levels of beta waves which indicated the level of calm/focus (changes color on the screen if he's not within the target range), while the program captured his response times to the various activities (so we can tell if he's able to stay on task, etc.). The goal has been to help him become more aware of his emotions and physical state, and to be better able to calm himself and concentrate. He says he enjoys the sessions, so we'll likely start up again in January for another 10 weeks. I know that for some people, the goal is to get their child to the point where they don't need medications, but I don't think that's realistic for this particular kid. I do, however, believe it will help him manage his emotions better and be more aware of his level of attention and perhaps be able to more consciously control it. [/QUOTE]
