ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a special training program designed to help children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) improve their focus and self-control skills, known as "executive function." The program will take place at home, which means families can participate without needing to travel. The study aims to find out if this training can help reduce ADHD symptoms in children and also lower stress for parents.

To join the study, children need to be between the ages of about 6 to 12 and have certain scores indicating ADHD symptoms. Parents must be willing to participate fully and agree to the study, and they should be able to understand the training process. However, children or parents with serious mental health issues or those already receiving other ADHD treatments won't be eligible. If you and your child decide to participate, you can expect to engage in training sessions and assessments, all while receiving support from the researchers.
