Skylar’s Run
Menu
Skylar’s Run is a clinically validated, non-drug treatment delivered through an engaging, role-playing adventure video game. It empowers children, ages 8-12, with ADHD to better organize and control their behavior at school and home.
Skylar’s Run:
Skylar’s Run has consistently demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in the severity of the core symptoms of ADHD for sustained periods (up to 6 months) using the FDA’s primary measure of efficacy (ADHD-RS).
Within the virtual world of Sklyar’s Run, the cognitive skills of attention, impulse control and self-regulation are developed and mastered through interactive play. Sklyar’s Run is designed to engage and hold your child’s interest with challenging missions, quality characters and a fascinating story, which will quickly become an activity your child considers fun and engaging.
Skylar Run is a role-playing adventure video game played on a Bluetooth® enabled smart device that is digitally paired with the ΛV™ Headset. The game delivers a therapeutic curriculum of 13 cognitive skills that is designed to improve the child’s attention, impulse and self-regulatory control.
The curriculum is embedded in a series of 15 challenging missions that is delivered over the course of 8 weeks. Your child will play the game 3 to 4 times a week with each session lasting about 20 minutes. The time commitment is 1 to 1 ½ hours per week.
Over the course of the curriculum, the child develops the cognitive skills that enable them to better manage their behavior at school and home.
Skylar’s Run is unique. It is very different from any role-playing video adventure game that your child might play. The speed of Skylar is entirely managed by the child’s instant ‘state of attention’ which is measured by the ΛV™ Headset.
Skylar’s Run directly measures, targets, and treats 13 cognitive skills of attention, impulse and self-regulatory control that are impaired in children with ADHD.
Using the ΛV™ Headset, the child uses the level of his or her attention state to communicate or control Skylar’s running speed and success within each adventure mission.
The higher and longer the child maintains the level of their attention, the greater the success in applying the 13 targeted cognitive skills.
Early in the adventure series, the child quickly realizes that their ability to control their highest attention state directly improves their success in managing their ADHD. Proprietary methods are incorporated in the treatment algorithm to enable retention, transfer, and application of these improved skills from the virtual game world to everyday school and home life.
While the treatment may be challenging and frustrating at times, your child will enjoy playing Skylar’s Run. This is the only therapeutic where you control the video adventure with your mind. How cool is that!
