hi i am new and i want parents and people working with kids to know about a cd i found online.  i work with kids with a variety of disorders emotional, mental health problems including ADD, ADHD.   i tried this just to see if it would make a difference and i was very surprised by the results.  After a week of using it every second day i could see improvements in concentration, relaxation and parents noted this along with an improvement in sleep for some.  A few of the parents purchased the disc to use it at home and they also find it very good.  i just want to hear if anyone else has tried it and experienced the results i have. I continue to use it because it works so well.  

i think it is important to add also that children with add/adhd are highly intelligent and creative but find it difficult to focus and express themselves.  The use of the imagination gym cd target these areas of the brain and gradually the child learns to relax, focus, make decisions etc. 

By listening and completing the tasks in the story, the unused areas of the brain (right side creative or left side logical) gradually becomes stimulated and begins to function.

that is a very basic explaination of how it works. id love to hear any comments or if you have tried it.

all my very best wishes to you all Florrie

hi joni it is aimed at children really using the enchanted forest as a story base however on its site is claims adults use it too.  I don't suffer from add/adhd but i get anxiety attacks and i find it super to listen to for relaxation.

Sm I missing something??? Where is the cd info? Name of cd, name if website.

I would be interested in this for my son.

florrie,

I am trying some exercises from the book Stopping ADHD by O'Dell.  I believe it is connecting things up in my brain.  I remember things soooo much better now.  I can concentrate.  Organization is better, but not perfect yet.  These are crawling exercises.  I think they would be worth your time to investigate for the children you work with.

Thanks for your info on the cd

I will definitly look into that book by o'Dell it was mentioned to me before  as i say in all my posts if it helps try it.

I love the quote from Henry James so much i wrote it down
