My son has asked to do the HEG more frequently and I have encouraged him to wait as I wanted him to receive the full benefits when he did train with it. He raves about how much it helps him and is eager to use it, often when digging into a large H.W. assignment."

My best outcome was a 12 year old girl with severe OCD that went into full remission in 14 sessions It appears to keep helping the brain improve for months after sessions. I liken it to the effect of turning on lights in an empty, formerly dark part of a busy warehouse. At first you marvel at the discovery of this unused area, then find use for it and before long its fully operational and integrated.

My daughter is ADHD rather than autistic but many are using HEG with autistic children. I credit HEG with relieving my daughter's attachment issues. Additionally, she now will hold eye contact whereas before her eyes were constantly darting.
