Attention Deficit Disorder
The focus of Dr. de Jong's Ph.D. thesis work was an examination of Attention Deficit Disorder, with and without Hyperactivity, in adults. As such he has a deep understanding of both the treatment and assessment of adults with ADD and ADHD. Both of these disorders are complex and comprised of a variety of symptoms that may be masked by anger, depression or anxiety. Understanding these symptoms is a challenging task and so Dr. de Jong uses state of the art diagnostic tools, including brain imaging equipment, to determine the likelihood of the presence of this disorder. For more information on treatment options you may wish to examine his neurofeedback site or contact him at (604) 999 5809.
For children or adolescents with ADD or ADHD he focusses on a method of treatment called brainwave biofeedback or neurofeedback. Dr. de Jong uses state of the art electronic equipment, including brain imaging equipment, to measure and help retrain brain activitiy. However, he believes that behavioural problems with children and adolescents can best be handled by both brain retraining as well as specialists who can focus on understanding and directing behaviour at a verbal level. For this reason, he limits his work with children and adolescents to the neurofeedback therapy.

Having a learning disability like ADHD can be frustrating and demoralizing experience. Many clients with this disorder have become depressed or developed unproductive coping styles, such as withdrawal or anger, to deal with the disappointment and sense of hopelessness that comes with unrealized hopes and dreams.
The first step in dealing with the problem is the intake interview. During this part of treatment you will be asked to provide a detailed family history and discuss past learning challenges and emotional struggles as well as goals and aspirations. At the conclusion of this meeting, further testing is scheduled or performed.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about treatment call Dr. de Jong at 604-999-5809 or drop him a line by pressing this  .... He's looking forward to hearing from you!
