Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed disorders in young children around the world.

As many as 1 in 10 children being diagnosed with ADHD between the ages of 5 and 17. Children with ADHD often have a difficult time staying on task. They can be forgetful and easily distracted, have difficulty staying still, and daydream a lot.

ADHD can create difficulties in a classroom and at home and if left undiagnosed, it can prove to be a significant obstacle to learning. Hence, there is a need to be on the lookout for therapies and tools that can help the child overcome issues with attention.

HOW DOES FORBRAIN HELP WITH ADHD?

Forbrain is an educational tool that is being used by several therapists and families to use with children who show signs and are diagnosed with ADHD. Forbrain allows the user to hear themselves slightly louder and this effect of hearing themselves louder can have a kind of grounding effect on children and help them to stay focused, present, and on task. The tool really trains the child's brain to focus in order to improve their attention span. It can also help them to remember things because the message is easier for the brain to process.
