For children and adults with learning difficulties, we examine the brain functions that sit underneath — attention, working memory, processing speed, autonomic regulation — and run alongside formal psychoeducational assessment.
Learning difficulties — dyslexia, dysgraphia, auditory processing disorder, specific learning disorders — are diagnosed by educational and clinical psychologists, speech pathologists, and audiologists. That work is not what we do.
What we do work on is the substrate underneath: how reliably the brain can hold attention, how stable working memory is across a day, how readily it shifts state, how regulated the autonomic system is during effortful tasks. These are the functions a qEEG can examine. They are not the diagnosis — they are the conditions under which any educational intervention has to operate.
Children — typically referred by their educational psychologist, speech pathologist, or family GP. We work with the assessment they've already had, examine the underlying brain functions, and feed our findings back into the team.
Adults — often arriving with a long history of "I always struggled at school" and wanting to understand the picture. We examine, formulate, and work alongside any tutoring, therapy, or workplace accommodations they have in motion.
None of these are diagnoses we provide — we examine, and we work alongside your GP, psychologist, psychiatrist or specialist.
We examine — not diagnose. Sensory load, arousal regulation and attention networks can be measured, so the supports your paediatrician, psychologist or developmental team shape are informed by data about this particular brain.
Too loud, too bright, too fast — examination can show how arousal and salience networks behave under sensory load, useful information for the families and therapists building the right environment around a child or adult.
We work alongside — not in place of — primary medical and psychological care. We do not diagnose neurological or psychiatric conditions from EEG, and we do not prescribe or alter medication. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call 000 or Lifeline 13 11 14.
The same methodology, every tier
14 brain networks. Quantitative measurement at the start, the middle, and the end. Co-care with your GP and psychologist — we work alongside, not instead of.
19-channel quantitative EEG, processed against age-matched norms via NeuroGuide. swLORETA source localisation maps activity to specific networks.
swLORETA-guided neurofeedback paired with HRV biofeedback at resonant frequency. Network-targeted protocols, not one-size-fits-all.
qEEG comparison at mid-cycle and end of programme. If the data isn’t moving in the expected direction, we change the plan — not the calendar.
One methodology across every tier — from the free Snapshot through to the in-clinic 12-week programme.
Four tiers of care
Every tier uses the same methodology — examination first, then targeted intervention. Choose the depth that fits your concern, your timeline, and your budget.
A short educational questionnaire screening your three core networks — Default Mode, Salience and Central Executive — with a personalised starting protocol.
Full 14-network mapping, 16-region BRLF screening, a 30-day guided programme and content library — lifetime access, re-take any time.
Everything in Tier 1, plus a Polar H10 sensor shipped to you, real-time HRV biofeedback in the NeuroZen app, a daily 3-minute diary, AI-driven weekly feedback and monthly progress reports.
Everything in Tier 2, plus in-clinic qEEG at the start and again at week 11, a weekly in-clinic visit for 12 weeks, personalised swLORETA neurofeedback, and a clinician-led plan designed by Dr Ash.
All tiers complement, not replace, your GP, psychologist, or psychiatrist. We co-care.
Two ways to begin
Examination, not assumption.
Take the free Brain Health Snapshot to orient yourself, or book a consultation with Dr Ash Connell. Both are easy to step away from, and either way you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s actually going on.
Or call (03) 5593 2934 — reception will take a few details and call you back within one business day.
