Re: ADHD with senory issues

[Guest guest]

Sounds like you may be training the SMR frequency too high.  SMR is not necessarily 12-15 Hz in a 9-year-old.  You may actually be training up beta when you train 12-15 in his brain.Reducing the frequency as you train (which you can do with Bioexplorer) is a good way to find the right frequency for physical calming for him.

I am working with a 9 yrs old who has severe ADHD ( hyperactive) with sensory processing deficits so he engages in all sorts of self stimulation- oral and motor . During the sessions he fidgets, chews his tongue, and scratches to the point that electrodes fly off his head. He cannot tolerate Smr at CZ. Frontal work F3 seems to settle him down a bit. Any suggestions on what to do for self stim behaviors?

Thanks

Pete,

I've been training 12-14 - do you think it should be lower? What would you train at?

based on the response of the client and his age, I'd say this is too high.  As I wrote before, if you are using BIoExplorer, you can slide the training band down (using the filters tool) during the session until you find the frequency that quiets him in the chair.

What's for his shoulders to drop and become really tuned in and focus more. Once

you see him do this you know you have the correct band width.
