Brain Skills tutoring, any tried this? | ADHD Information
I have been looking into cognitive training for my son. He is 7 years old and has ADHD. He is on meds, Focalin, but his hyperactivity still needs improvement. I am not sure the med is even working anymore, but I really don't want to up the dosage. I have recently started him on Omega and Magnesium, with hopes they will help.
Anyway, heard about the Pace program from someone at school. This is a cognitive tutorin program that you have to go to under a license provider. I took him in for testing and was pleasantly surprised by the results. He was 3-4 years ahead of his age level on some of the hardest catagories. He was below on a few as well. Anyway, I did some investigating on the program on the net and came across Brain Skills, made by the same folks. This is the "at home" version of Pace and is significantly cheaper. To take my son to the trainer it will cost 00. Brain skills is only 7. I have a neighbor that will help me, since kids usually do better for other folks.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has tried this. If so, what do you think? It looks very promosing and I do hope it will help. The lady that I talked to said she had only RAVE reviews about this. I did see some the pre and post tests from other kids and they did improve, some made massive improvement in some areas.
