New Product to Help Your Child With ADHD
Behavioral Therapeutics, Ltd. has launched a new product called Good Vibrations. It is an interactive device designed to teach children with attention issues to self-regulate through the transmission of gentle vibrations. Utilizing the principles of learning theory, Good Vibrations teaches self-regulation by raising self-awareness and by harnessing the power of positive reinforcement.
Good Vibrations will help a child at home and in the classroom. A discrete, watch-like device is worn that will silently vibrate. When the child is on-task, a reward vibration will be sent by the teacher or parent with a transmitting unit. When the child is off-task, a reminder vibration will be sent. Every vibration sent is time-stamped so that at the end of the day, all the information can be analyzed and trends can be spotted at specific times. This information will keep the child, parents, and teachers informed so the ultimate goal of self-regulation can be achieved!
