Summary

This small pilot study at Boston Children's Hospital will test whether a handheld device that guides deep breathing can help children with ADHD pay attention and control impulses. Ten children aged 7 to 11 will use the tool and then complete computer tasks while their brain activity is measured. The goal is to see if this low-cost, easy approach can improve focus and reduce the need for medication or behavioral therapy.
