Neuroclinic Jerusalem Turns Attention to Learning and Reading Difficulties

By November, the school year in Israel has settled into its winter rhythm, and the early weeks of excitement have given way to the steady work of lessons, homework and tests. It is also the point at which many parents and teachers start to notice which children are struggling to keep up. Neuroclinic Jerusalem, a clinic that provides personalised neurofeedback for children and adults, is using this stage of the year to explain how its brain training approach can support people living with learning difficulties, reading problems and the attention issues that often come with them.

The clinic's starting point is that behaviour starts in the brain. Rather than working only on symptoms, it aims to retrain the brain to function differently, so that the underlying pattern changes. That idea shapes every programme the clinic runs.

When learning is hard, the effects spread

Learning difficulties rarely stay inside the classroom. A child who cannot keep up with reading can lose confidence, pull back from friends and dread going to school. Adults who have carried a learning difficulty for years often describe a similar spiral, where frustration at work or study feeds into low mood, poor sleep and anxiety.

One of the case studies on the clinic's website describes exactly that pattern. A young man came to the clinic with a reading problem and a learning disability that had led to depression and badly disrupted sleep. As his training progressed, his mood lifted, his anxiety eased, his sleep returned to a normal pattern and he found reading and learning easier. Another case describes an adult with ADHD who had tried medication and mindfulness, and who found that neurofeedback helped him sleep better, perform better at work and make fewer rash decisions. He trained using the clinic's remote service.

What neurofeedback involves

In simple terms, neurofeedback therapy is a form of brain training based on EEG, which measures the brain's electrical activity. The clinic begins every programme with an EEG brain map, which shows how a person's brain is functioning in the areas linked to their difficulties. Training sessions then give the brain feedback in real time, helping it learn healthier patterns over many sessions. The process is non-invasive, and the person simply wears sensors while the training software responds to their brain activity.

Neuroclinic Jerusalem works with children and adults dealing with ADHD, learning disabilities, processing disorders and autism, and with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD and PTSD. Because every brain is different, each training plan is built from the individual's own brain map rather than from a standard protocol.

Two ways to train

Families can choose between training in the clinic and training at home. The in-clinic route begins with an evaluation appointment at the clinic in the Romema area of Jerusalem. That evaluation costs 600 NIS and includes the EEG brain map, an intake session with a licensed clinical social worker and a follow-up meeting. The client then meets the clinic's neurotherapist to go through the results and agree a personalised training plan, before coming in for sessions twice a week, each lasting an hour.

For families who find regular travel difficult, particularly during the wet winter months or alongside a busy school and work schedule, the clinic also offers neurofeedback at home. A professional headset is sent to the client, with delivery taking three to seven business days. A 30-minute assessment is carried out over Zoom with a clinician guiding the process, and the brain map results are reviewed together within 24 to 48 hours. Training then runs four times a week for 30 minutes per session, or on a schedule adapted to the household.

The at-home programme is offered as a monthly plan at 2,400 NIS per month that can be cancelled at any time. The clinic states that clients who follow their training instructions with four sessions a week and see no improvement are entitled to a refund, subject to its published terms.

Who guides the training

Whichever route a family chooses, the clinic stresses that the training is not self-guided. Each client is actively monitored by a clinician who reviews progress and adjusts the training, and there is a monthly follow-up to check that the sessions are on track. The team includes licensed clinical social workers and a licensed professional counsellor, a remote client coordinator who tracks progress data, and a technical support advisor who keeps at-home systems running smoothly.

Training plans are built by Gitty, the clinic's QEEG-guided neurofeedback practitioner, who has a background in health sciences and has trained extensively in QEEG-guided neurofeedback under the mentorship of John Anderson of STENS Biofeedback. For families looking for a neurofeedback therapist who works from measured brain data rather than guesswork, that combination of assessment and clinical oversight is central to how the clinic operates.

No long-term commitment

Neuroclinic Jerusalem does not lock clients into long-term contracts. The clinic says that if training is not bringing the results expected, it will be open and honest about it. Clients can also move at their own pace, without pressure to go faster or slower than suits them.

Why now

The middle of the school year is a useful time to act on concerns raised in the first term. Starting an assessment in November gives a child several months of training before the end of the school year, and gives parents objective information about how their child's brain is working rather than relying on impressions alone. For adults, the winter months can be a practical time to commit to a regular training routine at home.
