coherence training

[Guest guest]

Hello everybody,

I have evaluated a 13 year old child and am faced with some gaps in my knowledge (again! ;o) Here is the story:

He was adopted at 4 months. He was born in Taïwan and was in an orphenage until adoption. He has a non verbal learning disability. There also is an hypothesis of Asperger. He has sensory integration issues. He also had seizures in the past but has been off meds for a few years.

I have tried some work at P4 trying to bring down the slow wave activity. His peak frequency eyes closed is in the theta range. I have done 6 sessions already and have no result. Yesterday I looked at the evaluation again and also at the subj. eval. I realised he had a locking pattern (the coherence is too high in the fast wave frequencies). I hadn't looked much at coherence until now. I have never done any coherence training before and I need advice. I read my notes on locking pattern and a lot of stuff corresponds to the observations made by the parents.

I also notice a left-right reversal for alpha and a front back-reversal for beta. Also his high beta is much higher at T4(disconnect?). Hot temporals. I would like to know if the coherence training is the priority. Also, how do I do it? With a bipolar montage? two channels? what sites? What should I be careful about?

thank you very much for any help you can provide.
