Neurofeedback for Children with Autism in Raleigh, NC
A gentle, non-invasive way to support calm, focus, and emotional regulation
If your child struggles with meltdowns, sensory overload, anxiety, or focus, you are not alone—and there is support available.
IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback helps the brain regulate itself more efficiently, often leading to improvements in calmness, attention, sleep, and overall well-being.
This approach is safe, gentle, and requires no medication.
How Neurofeedback Helps Children with Autism
Children with autism often experience nervous system dysregulation, which can show up as:
- Sensory sensitivities
- Emotional outbursts or meltdowns
- Difficulty focusing or learning
- Anxiety or shutdown responses
- Sleep challenges
IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback works by helping the brain “reset” inefficient patterns—supporting improved regulation without forcing change.
Many parents report their child becomes:
- Calmer and less reactive
- More engaged and present
- Better able to transition between activities
- More comfortable in their environment
What Makes IASIS Different
Not all neurofeedback is the same.
IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback uses extremely low-level signals to gently support the brain’s natural ability to reorganize itself.
- No effort required from your child
- Sessions are short and comfortable
- No stimulation or “training” tasks
- Designed to work with sensitive nervous systems
Is This Right for Your Child?
This approach may be a good fit if your child:
- Is easily overwhelmed by sensory input
- Struggles with emotional regulation
- Has difficulty focusing or staying on task
- Experiences anxiety, shutdowns, or meltdowns
- Has not responded well to other approaches

“BrainUp Neurofeedback has done an excellent job providing neurofeedback for my two sons with ADHD and autism. We have seen improvements in their ability to maintain a still body, focus on tasks, have less emotional reactivity, and get along better with each other. In comparison with other neurofeedback providers we have been to, their sessions are cheaper, faster, and provide faster improvement. We used ESA funds for this treatment and it has improved their academic performance and quality of life.”
