Could Virtual Reality Be Effective for the Treatment of ADHD in Children?
Many of us have heard of virtual reality in the context of fields like gaming, travel or architecture. Recent research suggests that its immersive and game-like qualities might make it an effective treatment tool for ADHD. It could soon take its place alongside other ADHD therapies.
Can Video Games Be an Alternative Therapy for ADHD?
Findings from several recent studies suggest that certain aspects of ADHD can be improved with at-home computer interventions. This comes as welcome news to children, who adapt easily to mobile devices, and to parents who seek alternatives to drugs that have limited effectiveness and adverse effects. These studies provide encouraging evidence that video game technology might one day be used as part of an ADHD treatment regime.
When You Have ADHD and Need Motivation, Turn Your Life into a Game
If you have ADHD, you know how hard it can be to motivate yourself to do those boring but necessary tasks.

Gamification can make life with ADHD easier by providing the boost of external motivation you might need to get things done.

While there is no evidence to support the idea that video games cause ADHD, there are concerns that extensive video game play can exacerbate the symptoms of ADHD. Once you understand the special attraction of video games for kids with ADHD, there are steps you can take to prevent this entertaining distraction from becoming a potentially harmful addiction for your child.
