VR training for improving attention in kids with ADHD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a virtual reality (VR) program meant to strengthen attention skills in children with ADHD. It compares different VR-based training options and looks at whether kids improve on attention-related thinking skills after the sessions.
