The Learning World team accompany two Canadian siblings with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their family. For children like them, listening to a teacher, staying focused on an exercise, or sitting still on a chair can be a major challenge. Does a science like neuro-psychology offer new ways of tackling disorders like ADHD? Are there new techniques for teachers to promote attention in the classroom? Apart from medication, neuro-psychologists have developed educational games that help to boost concentration and to overcome impulsive tendencies. Games like these offer various strategies for living with attention deficit disorders.
