Executive Function Training for Teens and Kids
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of training designed to help children and teens improve their executive function skills—things like planning, focus, and self-control. It is open to kids ages 12 to 17, especially those with ADHD, as long as they are not currently taking ADHD medication and have a parent who can join the training.
