1. What kind of software program? (Do kids with ADD really need more PC or TV time? LOL)

2. What issues or symptoms are you looking to address and improve?



For example, organization problems? task completion? executive function problems? impulsivity problems? ('blurts out?') hyperactivity (needs to burn off steam)?


ADHD is a very complicated and MULTI-FACETED disorder.

Has your child been Tested? Perhaps it would help to tell us more about your child's strengths and issues/deficits from their Testing Report.

just learning software that could help him learn more and good concentration games or whatever

try lumosity.com or mybraintrainer.com, both are web-based working-memory game sites.

I've used that before and I think it's great. It might be boring for a child though because they aren't "games" in the traditional sense... like tic-tac-toe or anything.

Eye-Q is also a great one... I've used it to increase my reading speed from 200 wpm to about 600 wpm.
