Today there are many more options for treating behavioral problems. One that has been recently gaining attention is neurofeedback at home. Because the cost is very high and it is not currently covered by insurance plans, many are seeking to try the treatment in their home using one of the many options that are available.
It is important to remember when considering this treatment for ADHD, ADD or any other of the behavioral problems that the reason insurances do not currently pay for the procedure is that it has not yet been fully tested and fully approved for use. Therefore if you decide to try the process in your own house, which is still quite costly, you might find that it is not effective for your child.
First you should discuss the options with your doctor. While many are not willing to recommend this treatment, they will discuss the pros and cons with you. You need to understand that because it has not be fully tested insurance companies currently do not pay for the procedure. You also should make sure that you are working on the right condition. There are many behavioral issues that will have the same symptoms as ADHD.
Next you should discuss it with your doctor. You as a parent will have the final say but you will want to discuss treatment plan changes with the physician so that any problems that may come up will be understandable to you and your doctor. Using outside treatments could cause problems with the medications that the patient is currently taking.
If you have tried all of the various options for medication and treatment you are likely looking for something that will help your child succeed. It is very frustrating to parents when they are trying every avenue available and not finding any relief from the symptoms. Children with ADHD tend to be unruly, hyper and easily distracted.
Areas where children with ADHD may have problems will include difficulty with task completion of any type and extreme activity. Both of this symptoms can cause great distress to a parent. As a parent it will be important as well for you to learn various techniques of dealing with these behaviors. Using the wrong tactics can result in more problems with behavior.
Whether you decide to try this process in your house or you decide against it will be your decision alone. You will likely need to do extensive research before you can decide if you think it is something that will be helpful. However, as with any type of treatment for this condition, it is important that you finish the entire process before you make any judgement.
