Well, there is a very successful technique developed in Israel for helping ADHD naturally called BEING IN CONTROL - integrating biofeedback, accelerated learning strategies- and sensory integration.
Dear Parent , ADDER -educator, student, therapist- thank you for your attention- I would like to mention that I just released two new video/kits on natural solutions to help ADHD "Being in Control: Natural Solutions for ADHD, Dyslexia, and Test Anxiety"
and A video for biofeedback home trainers and biofeedback practitioners-"Guide To GSR Biofeedback For The Natural ADHD Practitioner"-
Video one description: BEING IN CONTROL:Natural Solutions For ADHD Dyslexia and Test Anxiety http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9659025130/
Do you, your child, or client want to be a better student? Is it hard for you to sit quietly in class and concentrate? Do you have a problem preparing homework? Do you want to pass exams with less pressure? Then this video may be for just for you. Taking the concepts, techniques, and exercises from the original book "BEING IN CONTROL- Natural Techniques For Increasing Your Potential And Creativity For Success In School" (ISBN-9659025114)" and making them come alive with a 40 minute video rendition. The video portrays in a "roadmap" format topics for improving relaxed concentration for the classroom and when preparing homework -like increasing self confidence; relaxed concentration; seated yoga; creativity; time management; organisation of material; sensory integration; using our senses to relax; biofeedback; games; better cursive handwriting; speed reading; test taking strategies and more. In addition to the CD ROM and book-BEING IN CONTROL/kit - also included are 2 finger temperature strips biofeedback monitors used by many biofeedback practitioners for measuring relaxation- stress levels.

Podcast Interview with The ADHD Specialist about using GSR biofeedback in ADHD:

The video describes how to use GSR
biofeedback techniques as an physiological objective measure of
relaxed concentration in ADHD and then describes natural techniques
that stabilise the GSR ( electro dermal activity) in ADHD. This
work is based on the finding during my research since 1991 on ADHD
that ADHD people are lacking the natural perception of relaxed
concentration and have to be trained to gain or re-gain this
perception. The work also found whereas the simpler GSR was used to
teach relaxation it was overlooked as a tool to teach concentration
being dwarfed by neurofeedback. My research also found that the new
feeling of relaxed concentration in ADHD is claimed by many ADDer's
to subjectively "feel" better than medication. It also found that
when the feeling of relaxed concentration is lacking- it is actually
stressful to try to relax if you do not know how and this may be
measured objectively by GSR. The research also found that once this
measure is obtained- a variety of client specific techniques can be
tried to find which techniques is matched to that person. My hope is
that this valid measure will be used as a future screening test in
ADHD clinics and schools.
