Thanks for the links. I will look into it.
do you have any idea if insurance covers it? My problem is lack of time. I go to work, come home and several nights a week care for my grandson. He has severe autism so it's not like I can even look away for one minute. We usually take him to an indoor pool, it is very energy draining.[/QUOTE

You will have to check with your insurer to see if they cover it or not. Also, check with whoever you plan to see for treatment. Scheduling might be a problem for you, but when you call to make an appointment, just let them know what times you are able to go. Working and caring for your granson, you might benefit in unexpected ways from the training. While you are looking into it, you may want to try a Google search on "autism neurofeedback." Some study has been done with this. I haven't looked into it. Also, go back and check the threads here on neurofeedback. We had some dicussions on it and I wrote one article about Robin N's daughter's experience with it. Here's a link to a fairly recent article about it.

I quickly read the second link. It sounds hopeful. I bookmarked it for my son.

The first link isn't good. I got an error message but I will google more about it.
