Why a QEEG Brain Map Is a Game-Changer for Understanding Your Child’s Behavior

A QEEG brain map is an objective measure of brainwave activity that gives us information about the function of the brain in specific regions of the brain (e.g. the frontal lobes which are the attention center of the brain) and how the brain processes information from site to site or how it communicates. Think of brain communication as how many highways a brain has; with the more highways, the easier it is for one to pay attention, learn, and regulate. A QEEG brain map or a brain check is a critical first step in the process of beginning neurofeedback, which is a therapy that can create lasting change.
