The ability to attend, which begins early in life, is a vital part of the capacity to learn, concentrate, think, interact with others, and master basic academic skills.
Attention disorders such as ADHD affect 1 in 10 children, which means that a whopping 64 million children are at risk of falling behind in school & daily life.
Drugs only treat the symptoms of ADHD for a limited time, some for only 4-6 hours, and they don’t address underlying emotional and mental problems. Additionally, side effects include irritability, insomnia, tics, anxiety, rashes, upset stomach, and rarely heart conditions, liver problems, suicidal thoughts or death...which is very serious considering the high likelihood of abuse for these medications.
"The present study suggests that Interactive Metronome® training can improve aspects of attention, motor, and perceptual-motor functioning; cognitive and academic performance; and the control of aggression in children with major attentional problems."
