Looking for tools that help with concentration and restlessness? In this category you will find fidgets, concentration screens and calming aids that support children and adults with ADHD.
ADHD aids are products that help channel restlessness, reduce sensory input and hold attention. With ADHD there can be a strong urge to move and a lot of inner restlessness, which makes concentrating difficult. A fidget such as the Chewigem Hand Fidget or the Fidget Go Avocado gives the hands something to do, so the mind becomes calmer. A concentration screen such as the Concentration Screen Basic blocks out visual input, and a Calm down box helps you settle for a moment. Ear defenders such as the Jippie’s ear defenders also limit noise. These aids are used by children and adults, at home and at school or work.
When choosing an ADHD aid, the main things to consider are the need and the situation:
