Looking to improve your child's concentration and attention span?

Researchers at The University of Sydney are recruiting children without AD/HD to take part in their control group, for the AD/HD Management through Biofeedback study.

Studies have shown that biofeedback video games can help typically developing children improve their concentration, attention, and classroom behaviour. This study will trial a biofeedback program called The Journey to the Wild Divine.

Trials have commenced for the experimental group with children diagnosed with AD/HD, the control group will commence sessions in July 2007, and like the AD/HD group will proceed for 3 months (12 weeks) if sessions are attended once a week, and 2 months (8 weeks) if sessions are attended three times a week. Sessions are one hour, and participants are to attend sessions either once a week (12 sessions), or three times a week (24 sessions) (researchers will do their best to accommodate to their participants already running schedules).

For specific project information please see the Participant Information Page.

If you are looking for a way to help improve your child's concentration and attention span, this may be the trial for you.
