Focus at your Fingertips

For many with ADHD, paying attention can feel like trying to tune a radio that’s always drifting off station. However, new game-based digital therapies are offering hope in a fun and interactive way. One FDA-cleared example, EndeavorRx, is a video game specifically designed to help children develop and strengthen their attention skills. Clinical studies have demonstrated that regular gameplay can result in measurable improvements in focus, working memory, and executive function. Unlike traditional medications, this approach delivers attention training through adaptive gameplay that meets each player where they are, keeping challenges engaging without feeling overwhelming. While these games aren’t a replacement for therapy or medication, they can be an essential tool alongside other supports, providing kids — and even adults exploring similar options — a way to practice focus in an empowering and playful way.

Recognition of Adult ADHD

For years, ADHD was thought of as something only children experienced, leaving countless adults feeling frustrated and misunderstood. Today, research and awareness are changing that narrative. Millions of adults in the U.S. are now receiving accurate ADHD diagnoses, often for the first time in their lives. Understanding that ADHD can also persist into adulthood opens doors to targeted treatments and support systems that fit the realities of adult life, including managing work, family responsibilities, and navigating relationships.

With the right combination of therapy, practical tools, and, when appropriate, medication, adults with ADHD can finally gain clarity, confidence, and a sense of control over challenges that may have felt lifelong. This shift is more than a medical update. It is a message of hope: it is never too late to get the support you deserve and start thriving.

Nonstimulant Treatment for Children

Finding the right medication for ADHD can be a challenge, and what works for one child may not work for another. Onyda XR offers a new option for families seeking more flexibility in treatment. Approved by the FDA in 2024, Onyda XR is a liquid nonstimulant medication for children aged 6 and older. Its extended-release formula helps provide consistent symptom control throughout the day, making school, homework, and daily routines easier to manage. It can also be taken at night, helping children who experience ADHD symptoms later in the day or difficulty winding down. The liquid form is particularly helpful for children who have trouble swallowing pills, and the medication can be used alone or in combination with stimulant treatments if needed.

Skilled-Based Support 

While medication and digital therapies play essential roles in ADHD care, many benefit from personalized coaching and skill-based programs that target daily life challenges. These programs focus on teaching practical strategies for organization, time management, emotional regulation, and prioritizing tasks.

Research suggests that skill-based interventions can enhance executive functioning, alleviate stress, and boost confidence. Additionally, clients often report feeling more in control and capable, which can have a ripple effect on motivation and self-esteem. For example, structured ADHD coaching programs for both adolescents and adults have been associated with improved planning, enhanced task completion, and increased resilience in managing day-to-day demands. This personalized, hands-on support empowers individuals with ADHD not only to manage symptoms but also to harness their natural creativity, energy, and problem-solving abilities in meaningful ways.

Creativity and Motivation

ADHD is often framed in terms of challenges, but recent research highlights that many people with ADHD also have remarkable strengths, particularly in relation to creativity, problem-solving, and motivation. Individuals with ADHD often thrive in environments that foster flexible thinking, quick problem-solving, and creative risk-taking. Studies show that people with ADHD can generate more original ideas than their peers, primarily when they are intrinsically motivated or engaged in tasks that capture their interest. Recognizing and nurturing these strengths can transform the experience of ADHD, shifting the focus from simply managing symptoms to leveraging unique talents.

Creative projects, entrepreneurial pursuits, and meaningful goals can help individuals build structure and follow-through. These tasks often align with personal interests and feel more natural to sustain. When paired with coaching, therapy, or skill-based support, these strengths become powerful tools. They help people with ADHD develop practical strategies for school, work, and daily life. By embracing creativity and motivation as assets, individuals can manage symptoms more effectively. They can also thrive in ways that feel meaningful and authentic.
