Although qEEG can provide objective data about brain function and help identify neurophysiological characteristics, it is not a direct treatment method for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The following are the uses of qEEG in ASD
- Diagnostic Support: qEEG can help confirm the diagnosis of autism by providing specific data about brain activity.
- Individualized Treatment Plans: Based on the results of QEEG, professionals can develop targeted interventions addressing specific behavioral and cognitive challenges.
- Tracking Progress: QEEG can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments, assisting in the adjustment of treatment strategies.
However, qEEG primarily serves as an auxiliary tool to help understand individual needs rather than being a standalone treatment option. The most effective treatment typically requires the combination of other methods, such as behavioral therapy, speech therapy, and social skills training.
