A new video game is being tested among children with ADHD. Parents have expressed dismay when their child is assigned ADHD. They may be fulfilling a valuable national research role unlike any other out there. Students with sensory overload may notice that their brain doesn’t work right. The video game has the potential to change that for them.
Does your learner enjoy video games? Which video games seem to help them learn?
Video games are available to assist with learning struggles.
Some details were omitted from the article itself on ADHD. The name of the video game has been restricted for reasons that is because the study is still ongoing and details need to be collected. But researchers have made strides when it comes to video games themselves. These students have tried therapies with modest success in the past.
Key takeaways
- Stella Schwartz was diagnosed with sensory processing dysfunction at a young age.
- A new video game has helped her cope with her symptoms.
- Researchers claim that nearly a third of students with ADD or SPD saw their symptoms disappear with as little as 30 minutes of game play per day.

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.
