Video Games for ADHD

ABC30 out of Fresno, California is reporting today on a doctor who is successfully using video games to treat young people with ADHD.

"Dr. MacDonald treats ADHD with SMART BrainGames, a new system that combines brain wave monitoring, biofeedback, and video games. The goal is to alter the brain wave pattern responsible for ADHD. . . And it works."

Janelle, a patient of Dr. MacDonald's, says she's better able to focus when taking tests. Before beginning this unusual treatment, she couldn't concentrate enough to take tests at all. Janelle no longer has to take medication, and her sister Julia, who also struggles with ADHD, has been able to reduce her medication.
