I brought my son to Kidabilities in desperate need to help with new behavioral issues that he was having in school. The weekly sessions with neurofeedback have helped him learn new skills in regulation and have less overwhelm. I am more than grateful to the staff at Kidabilities!
After Aiden had been seeing Cat for so long, I eventually decided to have his 8-year-old sibling, Gage, start attending OT at Kidabilities with Cat as well. She understands Gage and is able to help him regulate himself. The difference in Gage from neurofeedback in the beginning until now 2 years later is unbelievable it is like a whole new kid, like night and day, he has his smile and laughter back. I would tell anyone who is unsure about neurofeedback to go for it, you won't regret it, and your kids will thank you in love and hugs.
My name is Lynn, and my grandson Aiden has been with Cat at Kidabilities for about 9 years now. He loves her and she is great with him. She is able to get him to open up and communicate which isn't the easiest with a 14 year old boy. I am really able to see a difference in Aiden when he does his neurofeedback vs missing a session or two because of holidays or other things that come up. Finding Cat and her abilities to help me and teach me to understand more about how Aiden's brain and body works after all he has been through has been a huge blessing for our family.
We cannot express enough how grateful we are to Kidabilities! The second we walked through the door we felt comfortable & welcomed. The care my daughter receives is above and beyond in every way. I always feel that any concerns I have regarding my daughter, Belle, are heard and we work together to come up with a plan to help her through any challenges she faces. Belle looks forward to her sessions every week! We wholeheartedly recommend Kidabilities!
I didn’t realize how much my son needed occupational therapy and neurofeedback until I saw the difference they made. Miss Cat has taught my son ways to manage his emotions through social and emotional training in occupational therapy. This has helped him better understand and handle challenging situations at school and in daily life. Neurofeedback has also been incredibly beneficial, helping him stay calm in stressful moments—I noticed a real change when his anxiety decreased, and he became much more relaxed. I sit in on his sessions, and she’s absolutely wonderful with him. He loves going to OT!
“I have four awesome kids, 3 of which do neurofeedback. All are very different kids, and all of them are benefitting in so many different ways.
My oldest son, a high schooler, thinks of neurofeedback as his reset button. He starts the week fresh and focused, and more importantly calm. For him the life of being a teenage student, son, and sibling to two children with autism, all is as it will be. The world is manageable, feelings can be talked about, no more headaches he says. His video games are less important by his own choice and homework we are actually almost dare I say it?…Ahead!
For my younger children we are equally celebrating. My youngest is 11and “was”, here is the key, nonverbal. His anxiety was so much so that he feared animals, change and loud noises. Anything unpredictable could be challenging. Wanna hear the best part? All of those things are significantly better. He answers when you talk to him, he doesn’t run when a dog walks by, and he loves going out now! Gets his own drinks at restaurants, often orders his own food or at least tries and just today during the school time sat for 45 minutes fully enjoying drawing, reading and coloring. He is even beginning to advocate his own sensory needs. Today he told his therapist, “I am mad!.” Vocalizing his own feelings, wow! He has taught himself the sign language alphabet just recently with the help of his sister and is content with sharing if you just ask.
Finally my 14 year old, a new high schooler. Quite the lady and also nonverbal. She, however, loves to look pretty and express herself like a lady. She primarily uses a communication device which she has been known to say, “Hey, I’m talking to you” to “Man, I’m tired and need a couch!”. Before neuro, all she wanted was to eat candy or a cookie, and requested those things with her talker. Just recently, she was able to communicate her feelings and concerns about her teacher not being a part of her life next school year. Can you believe that! Just days ago we heard, “Hey, stop, and go away!”, all verbal requests, no talker.
The thing that all three kids have in common is anxiety, without a doubt managed, and their confidence to the moon and back! Thoughts are organized and the brain is free to think and use more of its connections and well honestly, it speaks for itself! Love neuro!”
“Neurofeedback has been wonderful for our child. His sentences are longer and he has so much fun during his therapy. Thank you!”

“Neurofeedback has been a miracle for my son. His anxiety has gone from a daily struggle to barely having any. He also is so such a happier, more, easy going kid. I can’t believe the change is this amount of time!”
“Neurofeedback has been a miracle for my son. He suffers from PTSD and high anxiety. He now is able to do things on his own, without fear. He is able to read and retain what he has read. His tantrums are fewer and farther between. He is happier and less angry. I love the effect it’s had on him and will tell all my friends about it. My daughter is in the therapy too. It is helping her with anxiety and being socially able to be around people. It’s just amazing!”
—T. F.
“Neurofeedback has helped my son tremendously. I noticed he is much calmer, and his comprehension at school has improved 500%.”
“Neurofeedback has changed my life. I can cope throughout the day without having anxiety attacks or breakdowns. I no longer cry all day. I am happy, I love life and I would not be here today without neurofeedback. I feel it has saved me.”
—H. N.
Neurofeedback has been a gift. My client for years had issues with outbursts, tantrums and self-harming behaviors. These behaviors have completely subsided. I now see a young man who is more redirect able, his anxiety has decreased and he is learning more quickly and easily due to the decreased anxiety. Overall, B. is more confident and happy today and the neurofeedback has been a huge contributing factor to this change.
—B. N.
Neurofeedback has helped my son so much since starting. He suffered a TBI and I’ve seen increase in his speech and a tremendous change with improvement in potty training! So awesome! Such a blessing!
—Tallen’s mom
My son receives neurofeedback at kidabilities. It has allowed him to self- regulate, to be more in control of his emotions and reactions. And for a five year old with autism, that’s nothing short of a miracle!
—K.S.
Neurofeedback has helped me so much. Before starting neurofeedback I was escalating a lot. Now I am less aggressive and psychotic. I feel better emotionally. I’m able to keep my shower routine going.
