BC Neurofeedback

Clinic visits don't work for every family. And honestly, for some children — especially those with sensory sensitivities or already packed schedules — travelling to a new location for every session is a real barrier.

That's exactly why we offer the at-home NeurOptimal® rental program.

Here's how it works: For $1,000, you receive 30 days of unlimited sessions with the same professional-grade NeurOptimal® system we use in our Surrey clinic — delivered to your door. I provide full setup training and remote support throughout. Your whole household can use it.

No commute. No waiting room. No sensory surprises. Just brain training in the most comfortable environment possible — your own home.

If you've been curious about neurofeedback but clinic visits feel like too much right now, this might be what makes it possible for your family.

I get asked this all the time: "What actually happens during a neurofeedback session? What does my child have to do?"

Honest answer: not much. That's the whole point.

A NeurOptimal® session is 33 minutes. Your child sits comfortably — in a chair, on a couch, wherever they feel relaxed. They listen to music or watch something on a screen. Two tiny sensors rest gently on the scalp and three on the ears. The sensors simply listen. Nothing goes into the brain — no electricity, no stimulation, nothing.

When the system detects that the brain's activity has shifted in a way that could be more efficient, the music briefly interupts for a fraction of a second. That tiny pause is the brain's "mirror moment" — information that lets it self-correct, naturally.

Your child doesn't need to focus, sit perfectly still, or try to do anything. The brain does the work. Most children find it genuinely relaxing. Some fall asleep.

"Neurodiverse-affirming" is a phrase that gets used a lot. I want to tell you what it actually means in my practice.

At DRW NeuroPerformance, it means I believe autism is a neurotype — a genuinely different way of experiencing the world — not a disorder to be corrected or a set of behaviours to be trained away.

When I work with an autistic child, my goal is never to make them "less autistic." My goal is to support their nervous system so they can feel more comfortable, regulated, and settled in their daily life.

A child who sleeps better, has fewer meltdowns, and navigates transitions a little more smoothly isn't a "fixed" child. They're a child whose nervous system has the support it needs to do what it's always been capable of.

That's what neurodiverse-affirming care looks like — in neurofeedback and in the counselling I offer alongside it.

If your child has an autism diagnosis in BC, you may have heard about BC Autism Funding — but navigating what it covers and how to use it can feel overwhelming on top of everything else you're already managing.

Here's what I want you to know:

BC Autism Funding is a provincial program that gives eligible families funding they can use to access services and supports of their choosing. The whole point is flexibility — to help families pursue what actually works for their child.

At DRW NeuroPerformance, we accept BC Autism Funding for both neurofeedback sessions and neurodiverse-affirming clinical counselling.

If you're curious about how your family's specific funding might apply — or just want to understand what's possible — the free consultation is exactly the right place to start.
