Brain-Training Programs
Brain training for ADHD is gaining popularity and becoming more available. There are computer software programs like Cogmed that may improve working memory or the ability to hold or retain information in the mind long enough to finish a goal or task (like remembering a phone number long enough to dial it). There are also brain training programs designed to reduce impulsiveness and increase attention. The games featured in these programs look and act like video games, but in essence are actually designed to exercise parts of the brain that are not working at their optimum level or below their potential.
