Summary

This study tests whether a virtual reality system (VRRS) can improve executive functions like memory, planning, and attention in 50 children aged 8-12 with ADHD. Kids will do 12 sessions of VR-based cognitive exercises over 6 weeks. Researchers will also check if these skills help with language abilities.
