Has anyone tried Attengo?

boohoo71
I found an online program that is supposed to help with ADHD.If anyone has tried it or heard anything about it I would appreciate your input My daughter is having a very difficult time in school and her self esteem has plummeted. We are moving to Scarborough Me and starting a new school. I don't know where to go or what to do to help her. Medication has been used but she turns very aggressive or she gets extremely depressed. What do parents do when meds aren't an option?

My friend's daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. I take my kids to martial arts classes. Her daughter was doing so much better. Especially at school. That extra energy or emotions that may been built up for whatever reason needed an outlet. I even would take her bike riding with my kids. I'm just saying, you got to try other alternatives before medications! It's hard work but sometimes you just got to do it for kids! I like bike riding though!

She is in 3rd grade and finally found a combination of meds and Omega 3s that seem to be helping. I found a less expensive cognitive training program online and we are trying it for a while. I will look at the forum. Thanks,

HI. I have a child with ADHD, but I'm not familiar with Attengo. How old is your daughter/what grade? I'm concerned when you say that your daughter turns very aggressive or gets depressed on medication. Has pediatric bipolar been considered? You can read more at www.bpkids.org
Have you been in contact with a pediatric psychiatrist, or has a pediatrician been trying to manage her medications? It certainly seems like she should be seeing a specialist.
There are some people who feel that alternative approaches, such as herbal and vitamin regimines, as well as different therapies, have helped their children. The best site I know of, for discussions of both conventional and alternative ways of handling ADHD/LDs/etc is www.millermom.proboards107.com and several of us members here at Greatschools also participate in that forum.
