Join Lise’ DeLong, Ph.D.
Dr. DeLong has over 30 years experience in private neurofeedback practices and almost 10 years of writing and teaching neurofeedback curriculums. We’ve built this site to offer her hand curated and custom built practice tools and knowledge base to you.
Let’s be completely honest: navigating neurodevelopmental challenges can feel isolating, exhausting, and overwhelming. You aren’t looking for clinical buzzwords, a rigid textbook response, or a therapist telling you what is wrong with you. You’re looking for real answers, measurable progress, and a team that genuinely sees you or your child.
Because who knows you better than you? (Spoiler alert: No one).
Here, we blend cutting-edge neuroscience with deeply compassionate, individualized care. We invite you to take our self-assessments, discover more about how your unique brain processes the world, and learn how you can actively play with your own neuroplasticity to create a new, beautifully connected you.
Our Mission: To empower families and individuals through advanced neurofeedback, comprehensive developmental insights, and a structured path toward lasting cognitive resilience.
Developmental Milestones (Ages 0–72 months)
Have you ever wondered if your child is hitting all the markers they are supposed to for their age? Now you can track your child’s learning abilities from day one. You know your child better than anyone! Put that knowledge to work to discover their natural strengths and subtle developmental needs.
Individualized Developmental Profile (IDP) (Ages 6 & Up)
This isn’t just for kids! Now you can customize your very own brain-mapping portal. Discover your unique cognitive landscape, identify where your “Magnificent 7” brain regions are thriving, and find out where they just need a little extra support.
NeuroCognitive Processing (NCP) (Ages: ALL)
Combining Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT) and neurofeedback is an unbeatable combination! NCP is the ultimate manual for how your brain processes the continuous stream of information it faces millisecond by millisecond. Discover personalized methods for listening, sharpening focus, integrating sensory input, and executing daily tasks smoothly without hitting a wall.

Explore the intake path and available assessments we’ve built to help analyze the Client’s needs
Our Milestones Assessement Tool is great for the newborn to 6 year old. After a parent responds to skills mastered to date, the tool will compare these skills to “normal” developmental milestones, indicate where remediation may be necessary and offter remediation activities for the parent to work with at home. Not just for remediation though, these activities allow the parent to be looking forward and working on the next skills at all times.
For the older kids and adults we have our Magnificent 7 Client Assessement that breaks the brain into its 7 major sections, highlights a client’s functioning within those areas and offers activities to strenghten them. A great first step in helping you and the client understand their needs
