DyslexicParent Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Did you get to do QEEG or home neurofeedback? The clinic I'm considering also charges $125/session. If my child ends up needing 60 (or more) sessions, that would be a whopping $7,500+ in addition to the costs of assessments, so I would ask for a home training option if 40 sessions are not enough. I'm wondering if I can kickstart or supplement the clinic sessions with home neurofeedback programs such as Focus Pocus, SmartBrain Technologies or Mind Alive's DAVID ALERT to maximize the chances of 40 clinic sessions being enough. As for the neurofeedback, it is $800 up front for the baseline EEG. Then we will have 2-3 sessions in office at $125/hour while they train me on the machine and get him started. Then I am renting a machine from the office to continue the therapy at home. I will then go back in 3 months for a session in the office and followup then wash. rinse. repeat. Until the total hours are complete. Renting the machine is about half the cost of in office therapy, so to start up I am saving up $1100 and then the monthly cost will be about $250-300 a month. Way cheaper than doing it all in the office. When we went to the consult appt they were suggesting 2 times a week to start in office, doing it at home he will do 1 hour sessions 5 days a week instead.

DyslexicParent Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 This is an old thread. OP stated this year she was saving up for neurofeedback and so am I. I'm hoping there will be a thread at some point of members sharing our experiences as we go through this proven but very expensive treatment.
