Common Risk Factors Linked to ADHD in Children

Currently there is no clear cause of ADHD. While research continues to be conducted, there are a few risk factors that have been identified. Risk factors associated with ADHD include:

Genetics

A family history of ADHD or other mental health conditions increases the likelihood of it developing in other members of the family.

Environmental Toxins

Exposure to environmental toxins such as lead can impact the development of the brain and cause conditions like ADHD.

Parents With Addiction

Having a parent who used recreational drugs, alcohol, or tobacco during pregnancy can increase the chance of the child developing ADHD.

Premature Birth

Premature births can lead to multiple potential developmental disorders.

What symptoms are associated with ADHD in children?

Struggling to pay attention
Forgetting important details or materials such as homework
Struggling to organize tasks or activities

What are the Support Options for ADHD?

Vital Brain Health offers different types of support, each serving a different purpose. Some of the support options you may be recommended include:

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback helps the different parts of the brain communicate more effectively. At Vital Brain Health, we use advanced EEG sensors to monitor how well the brain is coordinating, then provide real‒time visual feedback when it achieves optimal synchronization. As the brain is rewarded for properly synching, it triggers new nerve connections so the synchronization stays longer.

Photobiomodulation

Photobiomodulation helps children learn to retrain involuntary physical responses to better control conditions such as ADHD.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Vital Brain help with ADHD?

Yes, we provide advanced support for people with ADHD using Neurofeedback 3.0 integrated multi-modal training protocols specifically designed for individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and executive function challenges. Our approach helps optimize brain networks responsible for focus, impulse control, and cognitive flexibility in people with ADHD. We serve both children and adults with ADHD, using research-based protocols that target the specific brain communication patterns underlying attention difficulties in individuals with ADHD.

How does Vital Brain help with ADHD?

Our protocols for people with ADHD use Neurofeedback 3.0 to help the brain's attention and executive function "rooms" learn to communicate more effectively in individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. We target specific brain networks that control focus, impulse regulation, and cognitive flexibility in people with ADHD. Through our visual feedback system, these brain areas learn to coordinate on shared frequency channels, developing stronger connections during sleep that lead to improved attention, better impulse control, and enhanced executive function in daily life for individuals with ADHD.

Do you provide support for ADHD subtypes?

We help people with all ADHD subtypes. Whether someone has primarily inattentive type, hyperactive-impulsive type, or combined presentation, our Multi-Layer Analysis identifies which parts of the brain are involved for each individual with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Our research-based protocols for supporting people with ADHD are designed to optimize these exact brain networks through targeted training.
