Individuals with ADHD have difficulty with five or more skills that are needed to manage their lives. Despite being intelligent, creative, and hardworking, they face obstacles like disorganization, poor attention, and impulsivity. Attendees will identify the skills that need to be developed, learn strategies for strengthening these abilities, and receive resources for dealing with the challenges of ADHD.

EndeavorRx is the first FDA-cleared treatment for inattention in children with ADHD, delivered through a video game experience. Learn about Akili Interactive, the company that developed EndeavorRx, and the scientific principles behind the treatment. This presentation will also cover the clinical studies in children with ADHD, who used EndeavorRx and how EndeavorRx is now available for interested families.
