Takeaways Superpowers for Good helps individuals with ADHD, ADD, and learning struggles by balancing their visual system and developing thinking strategies. Signs of ADHD in children include overactivity, difficulty sitting still, impulsivity, and learning and behavioral problems. Medication can be prescribed for ADHD, but it is important to understand the role of the visual system in learning and consider alternative approaches. Convergence insufficiency, a visual problem, can affect learning and attention in individuals with ADHD. While ADHD cannot be cured, individuals can learn to manage their symptoms and develop new neural pathways through targeted interventions.
