What Is ADHD?
ADHD Is a Brain Pattern.
Not a Discipline Problem.
ADHD is associated with dysregulated brainwave activity specifically, excess slow-wave theta in the frontal lobes responsible for attention, impulse control, and executive function. The brain literally gets stuck in a slow-wave state that makes sustained attention feel nearly impossible.
A QEEG brain map identifies the specific theta/beta ratio in your brain. Neurofeedback then trains the brain to correct that ratio. Rewarding the production of focus-associated beta and reducing excess theta.

Peer-Reviewed Research
What Research Shows About Neurofeedback for ADHD
ADHD has the strongest research base of any condition in the neurofeedback literature, with multiple randomized controlled trials and institutional endorsement.
Level 4
Evidence rating from the American Academy of Pediatrics — the highest non-medication rating for ADHD treatment (American Academy of Pediatrics 2012).
30–40
sessions has been used in clinical research on ADHD neurofeedback protocol to have lasting, measurable results (Holtmann, M., Grasmann, M., et al. 2011).
Lasting
Neurofeedback trains neurological change that can persists after the protocol ends (Van Doren et al., 2019).

Our ADHD Protocol
SMR/Beta Training at North Austin Neurofeedback
Every ADHD protocol starts with your QEEG brain map — identifying the specific theta/beta dysregulation pattern in your brain. A trained technician then designs the most appropriate neurofeedback protocol, typically SMR or beta training.
Many clients can notice meaningful improvements in focus and impulse control within 15–20 sessions. Full results typically develop over a 30–40 session protocol.

ADHD FAQ
Common Questions About Neurofeedback for ADHD
Honest answers to the questions we hear most often.
Can my child do neurofeedback?
Yes. Neurofeedback is safe and effective for children as young as 4. Sessions are adapted to be engaging and appropriate for younger clients.
Do I have to stop ADHD medication?
No. Neurofeedback works alongside medication. Many clients reduce medication over time — always in consultation with their prescribing doctor.
How many sessions does ADHD typically require?
Most ADHD protocols involve 30–40 sessions for full results, though meaningful improvements are often noticed within the first 15–20.
Can neurofeedback help with emotional dysregulation in ADHD?
Yes. Emotional dysregulation is closely tied to the same frontal lobe patterns that drive attention difficulties. Neurofeedback addresses both simultaneously.
