Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)

Treat Pervasive Development Disorder with Neurofeedback. Call Neuro/Biofeedback Technician, Nancy Nolan now, 732-775-7563.

Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) is a condition in which some, but not all, features of autism or another explicitly identified Pervasive Developmental Disorder are identified. PDD-NOS is often incorrectly referred to as simply "PDD." The term PDD refers to the class of conditions to which autism belongs. PDD is NOT itself a diagnosis, while PDD-NOS IS a diagnosis. The term Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS; also referred to as "atypical personality development," "atypical PDD," or "atypical autism") is included in DSM-IV to encompass cases where there is marked impairment of social interaction, communication, and/or stereotyped behavior patterns or interest, but when full features for autism or another explicitly defined PDD are not met.

It should be emphasized that this ''subthreshold'' category is thus defined implicitly, that is, no specific guidelines for diagnosis are provided. While deficits in peer relations and unusual sensitivities are typically noted, social skills are less impaired than in classical autism. The lack of definition(s) for this relatively heterogeneous group of children presents problems for research on this condition. The limited available evidence suggest that children with PDD-NOS probably come to professional attention rather later than is the case with autistic children, and that intellectual deficits are less common. (Yale Child Study Center, Developmental Disabilities Clinic)

Our work has shown positive results when dealing with the symptoms of Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS).

Biofeedback/Neurofeedback allows the client to experience a retraining of the brain wave patterns and reduce the effects of PDD-NOS to a manageable level. Results vary based on severity of symptoms, other underlying conditions and number of secessions.
