Summary

This pilot study will test whether eye-tracking and balance tests can help identify early signs of ADHD in children aged 3 to 5. Researchers will compare 30 children with ADHD symptoms to 30 healthy children of the same age. The goal is to develop a platform for earlier detection and intervention, potentially improving outcomes for at-risk kids.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could lead to better tools for diagnosing ADHD in children under 6, allowing for earlier support and intervention.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 60 children, so results may not apply to all kids. It is designed to test methods, not to prove a treatment works.
