brain-training games
I would like to see this research expanded to include treatment of the ADD/Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder individual. I am using a feedback program called Play Attention with my 8 year old and it has helped tremendously, it is working. Unlike other brain-training programs, this one does not focus on intellect, it is a behavior shaping program that helps her focus, pay attention and avoid distraction. It was developed by a teacher who wanted to help his students with this different nature without the side effects of medication. It is based on NASA technology and the company's premise is that the mind does have the capacity to grow, change and adapt. I believe it because I see it: she now has friends, her grades are up and she is doing great in school.
