Music therapy for ADHD kids

I work in a preschool and I have children with different capacities and knowledge problems. Some students are diagnosed with ADHD, so I've started looking for some therapies with music and I find them. But, before we go into the topic let’s see What ADHD is.

What Is ADHD? 

ADHD is the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a medical condition. A person with ADHD has differences in brain development and brain activity that affect attention, the ability to sit still, and self-control. ADHD can affect a child at school, at home, and in friendships.

Kids with ADHD may have signs from one, two, or all three of these categories:

• Inattentive. Kids who are inattentive (easily distracted) have trouble focusing their attention, concentrating, and staying on task. They may not listen well to directions, may miss important details, and may not finish what they start. They may daydream or dawdle too much. They may seem absent-minded or forgetful, and lose track of their things.
• Hyperactive. Kids who are hyperactive are fidgety, restless, and easily bored. They may have trouble sitting still, or staying quiet when needed. They may rush through things and make careless mistakes. They may climb, jump, or roughhouse when they shouldn't. Without meaning to, they may act in ways that disrupt others.
• Impulsive. Kids who are impulsive act too quickly before thinking. They often interrupt, might push or grab, and find it hard to wait. They may do things without asking for permission, take things that aren't theirs, or act in ways that are risky. They may have emotional reactions that seem too intense for the situation.

Some therapies with music help to improve the brain functions, they use different musical styles and instruments. To developed the children attention is so important because when they play an instrument or listen to it, they develop the sense of rhythm and the ability to listen. So they can improve their focus attention 👀👂 and it's possible that music could become a non-pharmacological intervention. In the link below we have a program that helps children to improve the brain health, at any age or level of ability.

There is a success story about Max. He was diagnosed with ADHD, and his parents wanted to avoid putting him on prescription drugs of any kind, so they spoke with a neurofeedback doctor, and found their way to The Listening Program®. Since using TLP, Max’s entire family has seen a change. His teacher reported a “significant improvement” in his behavior in the classroom. He’s more able to “go with the flow” according to his mom, and no longer do last minute changes in plans get him worked up as they did before. Also, The Listening Program® can help on autism, ADD and ADHD kids.
