Holistic Approaches

Alternative or holistic approaches include weighted blankets (SensaCalm is designed specifically for persons with ADHD). It provides deep-touch pressure stimulation that helps people with ADHD focus better when they are using it, and is also said to help in sleeping through the night, and reduce anxiety and stress. Children or adults may also wear this in the classroom or at work.

Music or sound therapy, like HUSO, is another way to help people with the disorder. It is said that the organization existing in music helps provide a structure for kids who have trouble controlling their brain or neural pathways. Music also help increase chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine, that help with memory, concentration, and motivation, and can also affect mood.
