Hey, I just thought I'd share this. Did you know that there are vidoe games that can actually help kids with ADD concentrate better? And you know all kids like video games so it wouldn't seem like work to them! There are two that I know of.
There's the Smart Box which includes a helmet with built in sensors to moniter brain activity. As long as players remain calmly focused on the game, it plays normally. As soon as the player's mind wanders, the Smart Box signals the game to slow down and hinder the character's movement. It's pretty expensive though, about $550, I think. But I've heard good things about it!
The other one is called S.M.A.R.T BrainGames by CyberLearning Technology. It converts any home video game into a Neurofeedback device. Nasa's tests of the technology shows it works as well as traditional Neurofeedback equipment.
Basically, both games strengthens the childs ability to focus better. I know they may be expensive, but it might be worth checking out. And they're video games! What kid doesn't like video games? They can be learning and helping their brains while having fun!
Just thought I'd pass this on for anyone interested in checking these out. Anything that can help our kids is worth checking out I think.
Have a great day, everyone!
