the limbo - are ADDers good at it? | ADHD Information

Share

I am asking this question because I found it interesting that in my class of 4th graders, those that I know are being treated for ADD or ADHD have a hard time doing the limbo. 

The limbo is a game in which you must lean backward to make it under a stick which is then lowered until only one remains who can do it.  (I play a ruler game in which the students jump to see who can touch a ruler that is being raised each round.  I wanted something for the short kids to do well in too, but I was disappointed that my shortest student - who also has ADD - couldn't do the limbo well either.)

I am doing exercises from the book Stopping ADHD which says that a reflex LOCATED IN THE UPPER BACK AND NECK AREA can be a major cause of the symptoms of ADHD and ADD.  So, this seems to confirm the theory.

Myself, I have inattentive ADD, I have a hard time doing the limbo.

Thanks for your responses!
