** ** Recent Issue Posted - New Findings on Diet and ADHD: Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial **

If you missed the April issue of Attention Research Update, it is now available on the web.

In this issue I reviewed a recently published study that carefully examines the relationship between diet and ADHD. The role of dietary factors in children's ADHD symptoms has been a hotly debated issue for many years. Although the connection between diet and ADHD has been examined in a number of studies, important questions about the strength of this connection remain. The study reviewed in the April issue provides new data on this contentious topic and I believe you will find the results to be of interest.

** Sponsor's Message from Cogmed **

** Cogmed Working Memory Training: A research supported, non-medical training approach to help children and adults with attention and working memory difficulties **

Working memory refers to the ability to hold and manipulate information in mind for subsequent use and is an important cognitive skill for attention and learning. Many people with ADHD have problems with working memory and this is now regarded as an important component of the disorder by a number of prominent researchers.

Cogmed has introduced a computer-training program to improve attention and working memory for individuals across a broad age span. This program has substantial research support which you can review at www.cogmedresearch.com.

The studies posted include several randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, studies documenting changes in brain activity following training, and evaluations of Cogmed training by scientists with no affiliation to Cogmed. I believe you will find the review of this research to be quite interesting.

A directory of professionals who offer Cogmed Working Memory Training can be found here.

Note - I do not endorse any specific intervention or service for ADHD as decisions about the most appropriate treatment for any child are best made by parents in consultation with their child's health care provider. However, I believe you will find the information on this new, non-medical approach to helping children and adults with attention difficulties - including those with ADHD - to be interesting and encourage you to learn more about it.
