Course Description:
As the field of neurofeedback rapidly evolves, the emphasis on integrating research-backed strategies becomes paramount to ensure effective and ethical client care. A foundational understanding sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how evidence-based research can be effectively integrated into neurofeedback practice for achieving better clinical outcomes. This webinar will include:
1) Practical ways of developing focused clinical questions, navigating and appraising relevant literature, and discerning high-quality research.
2) Presentation of real-world examples and case studies illustrating the successful application of evidence-based strategies in treating conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and PTSD using neurofeedback. These examples serve to bridge the gap between theory and practice, providing actionable insights for practitioners.
3) Discussion of the selection and use of standardized, reliable, and valid assessment tools for objectively measuring client outcomes and informing evidence-based treatment decisions.
4) Ethical considerations of applying research findings to client care will be addressed. This segment aims to reinforce the ethical responsibilities of practitioners in an evidence-based framework.
The webinar will conclude with a synthesis of the main takeaways, underscoring the importance of ongoing professional development, and the commitment to staying abreast of emerging research in neurofeedback.
If you cannot attend the live webinar, all paid registrants will receive a recording of the webinar.
