Autism Spectrum Disorders Educational Therapist

Elaine Offstein, Educational Therapist, MA, BCET
Educational Therapist
Glendora, CA 91740
Offstein Educational Therapy provides an individualized, instructional program designed to discover the pathology of learning that is interfering with the client’s successful achievement. Educational therapy addresses academic remediation in the areas of reading comprehension, phonics, and written language, as well as low academic self-esteem, and study skills. Offstein Educational Therapy specializes in providing Electro-Encephalogram (EEG) Neurofeedback. The electrical activity of the brain is known as brain wave frequencies. Our brains produce a mixture of brain waves frequencies at any given time. An electroencephalogram, or EEG, is a recording of brain wave activity. Brain waves are measured and recorded using an instrument known as an EEG machine. If the rhythmic electrical impulses, or brain waves, produced by the brain become abnormal or out of balance, imbalances are created in the body. Real-time, all-digital EEG Neurofeedback training uses a specialized computer program that produces audio and visual signals in conjunction with brain wave activity. Non-invasive, painless sensors, called electrodes, are placed on the surface of the head. These sensors enable the brain wave patterns to be amplified and displayed on the computer screen. By displaying abnormal rhythmic patterns, the brain can be trained to replace them with normal patterns. Real-time, all-digital EEG Neurofeedback is both safe and effective. It helps to improve functions such as: • Concentration & focus • Short-term memory • Verbal expression • Speech motor skills • Gross motor skills • Sleep • Energy level • Emotional balance Examples of conditions that can result in abnormal brain wave rhythms are: • Open and/or closed head trauma/injury • Stroke • Coma • Autism Spectrum Disorders • Asperger’s Syndrome • Epilepsy • Migraine & cluster headaches • ADD/HD • Dyslexia • Learning disabilities • Clinical depression • Anoxia • Post viral damage • Cerebral Palsy • Traumatic brain injury • Concussion • Near-drowning • Depression • Migraine headaches • Learning difficulties • Down’s Syndrome • Cerebral Palsy • Dystonia • Anxiety and/or Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome • Whiplash EEG Neurofeedback is one of the most compelling examples of the body’s ability to self-regulate and bring itself into balance. Current brain research has shown that EEG Neurofeedback can be an effective auxiliary treatment for the above-mentioned conditions. Real-time, all-digital EEG Neurofeedback can help manage and improve the above conditions. Once the brain’s normal rhythmic patterns have been restored, EEG Neurofeedback is no longer necessary. The results of the training are permanent, unless another trauma or injury occurs.

One-on-One Tutoring Support: For a variety of reasons today, some learners need the support of one-on-one tutoring outside the traditional school day to learn any given subject.

Has he or she been diagnosed with dyslexia (reading), dysgraphia (writing) or, dsyscalculia (math)?

Whatever the specific problem, let us evaluate your student’s specific program needs and provide just the “right” customized program.
