In the future, you might just be able to turn to video games for helping to improve learning skills in those with sensory issues, such as, having difficulty processing what one sees and hears. Typical complaints from those who have sensory sensitivity include being bothered by the flushing of a toilet or the feel of a tag inside of an article of clothing.
Do you believe the research the claims that video games assist children with struggles?
A video game is being used to effectively treat sensory sensitivity.
Researchers studied 38 children suffering from sensory sensitivity. They say those facing such challenging issues have brains that are wired differently than others. Project: EVO, a new video game being developed, may help strengthen the way a brain processes and prioritizes thoughts and external stimuli. In the future, the game could eliminate medication for some.
Key takeaways
- Kids with sensory problems are faced with a number of challenges. There is an effort to actually prescribe them video games when possible.
- These kids will face some significant challenges in their everyday lives. They need to focus their attention on a specific goal in their lives.
- It is possible that video games are the solution they need. These video games feature exciting content and can direct attention too.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
