Brain Harmonics

Find out more about the therapy offered by Brain Harmonics, a neuro-feedback therapy which has been shown to have great results with autism.

Neuro-feedback is described as the science of changing brainwaves by giving your brain real time feedback on the current state of your brain activity – information that can help you to train your brainwaves to change. It’s like gym for your brain.

Neuro-feedback, also known as Neurotheraphy or EEG Biofeedback is a ground breaking technique that challenges the brain to function better.

For parents in the Western Cape

There is a space for an Asperger’s pupil in Thea Day’s homeschooling facility.

She currently teaches a Grade5 pupil, following a mainstream curriculum that is tailored to suit the unique needs of the specific individual.

If you know that your child needs an environment of understanding and love, where he or she can develop social skills and have a strong focus on academics, homeschooling can be a tension-free atmosphere where they can achieve these goals.

School hours are Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 14:00, following the Western Cape School Terms. The school is situated in Somerset West and welcomes applications from ages 8 to 11 years.

Please contact Thea Day at any time after 14:00 to discuss your child’s specific needs either via e-mail at thea.day32 at gmail.com or on +27 (0)824354713.
