#1 Amazon bestselling book in eight categories
So your child has been on Ritalin or one of the other ADHD drugs -- and you’re thinking perhaps even possibly for life. Or maybe your youngster has been diagnosed, but no amount of school behavioral therapy or special education is easing your child’s struggle. Or …and for many this is the case…your child is simply acting out, doesn’t seem to pay attention or follow through with what you ask them to do, and just can’t seem to keep up with schoolwork. And you are at your wits end!
Until now, the interventions that have been proposed for children who are diagnosed with some aspect of ADHD, or that have been used to improve a child’s behavior or learning skills when they exhibit similar challenges have failed to get to the root cause of ADHD. In other words, doctors, psychologists, administrators, teachers and parents are treating symptoms, but not the cause—so the problems persist even if there is some improvement. And for many kids, they simply continue to fall behind and struggle.
But now, there is a known cause and a solution! Connie McReynolds, Ph.D., one of the foremost clinical researchers and experts in her field, illuminates why your child is suffering in her new book-- Solving the ADHD Riddle: The Real Cause and Lasting Solutions to Your Child’s Struggle to Learn.
According to Dr. McReynolds, the real cause of ADHD is that a child’s brain has auditory and visual processing shortcomings. That’s not a hearing or seeing issue—it’s that the brain cannot fully hold or interpret the information coming in…thus, the child cannot pay attention or retain information enough to actually learn. And while often punished for willfully failing to focus, follow instructions or remember lessons, the youngster is actually incapable.
But through years of clinical research, Dr. McReynolds discovered this key and her clinics have been providing a breakthrough solution that is consistently measurable and repeatable using Neurofeedback. By using 30-minute sessions of a specially-developed video game, new neural pathways are built and strengthened, improving the specific areas of auditory or visual processing that have shown to be an issue in an initial intake assessment. She shows that how identifying a child’s specific challenges and developing a brain training intervention to address those changes has allowed children to strengthen their processing abilities and transform their lives.
The results are astonishing! In her book, Dr. McReynolds cites case studies of children who were failing school and ultimately named to the honor-roll; youngsters whose families had lost all hope, see their children thriving without drugs or other treatments; kids who were angry, acting out and failing to socialize, become engaged, happy and functional with teachers, students, and family members.
Notes Dr. McReynolds: “Regardless of gender, all children who struggle in school due to auditory and visual process problems are at risk of a negative path that includes a decreased likelihood of completing high school, a higher incidence of involvement with the criminal justice system, and diminished employment outcomes.”
That no longer is likely to be a child’s fate, with Dr. McReynolds’ Neurofeedback intervention. If you are wondering if your child is at risk, in the book she provides checklists that enable parents to identify behaviors and problems that point to auditory and visual processing problems.

What They Are Saying
ADHD
“Dr. McReynolds has cut the Gordian knot of auditory and visual processing problems! This seminal work of applied technologies, tenacity, triumph and hope is as audacious as it is remarkable. Dr. McReynolds shines a beacon on the complex world of ADHD with real world examples and applications.” -- Jim Swanson, M.A. rehabilitation counselor, LPPC-S
“Dr. McReynolds, thank you for opening the doors to many students to rewire their brains and build success with neurofeedback and your many strategies.”— Dr. Jean Maddox, elementary school principal
“My son was diagnosed with ADD last year and the only treatment that his pediatrician offered was ADD medicine. We contacted Dr. McReynolds in hope of finding another alternative. He received over 20 Neurofeedback sessions and those were the life-changing moments for him and for our family. His change was really amazing. He is now able to focus at school. He is more productive than ever, being able to complete more complex projects. His teacher was surprised with the huge progress he made last academic year.” — Serena
“Jonathan has autism spectrum disorder. We had been trying for Jon to pass his written driver’s license test 6 times prior to beginning neurofeedback therapy but he wasn’t able to pass. Thankfully, after neurofeedback he was able to pass and is so excited.” — Caesar B.
“I can’t say Neurofeedback treatments gave me my life back because I’d never had life. It instead has given me a life I never thought was possible, full of emotion and joy, rich and fulfilling. My mind after Neuro has the ability to process and understand so much better. There is clarity instead of noise. I can concentrate. I can think about a problem, situation, whatever, and reason it through. I am not constantly having recurring thoughts. I haven’t had a major PTSD flashback (one that takes me ‘back there’) for more than a year. I like being the person I am. A huge change for me is this feeling of confidence I have in myself.” -- Karla
“After completing my obligations with the military, my life began to spiral out of control, I suffered from panic attacks, seizures, memory loss, and irritability that caused me to lash out verbally against those closest to me. I could not get the violence that I had experienced and witnessed out of my daily thoughts. I tried everything from counseling, medications, biofeedback training and eventually discovered psychology’s best kept secret Neurofeedback. Neurofeedback has given me control of my anxiety and improved my ability to live a more meaningful life.” -- N. H. 1SG (USA Retired)
