Some physicians tend not to share techniques like the Interactive Metronome (R) or Brain Gym (R) -- which we have found to be quite effective -- but many do not.
We find that the Interactive Metronome and Brain Gym will reduce the need for ADHD medication and in a number of cases, the severity of the problem is reduced, so that a reduced dosage can be used. The combination of the Interactive Metronome (R), Brain Gym (R) and ADHD Medications may be the answer.
