Thanks for your entry, Judy.

You suggest briefly that you've seen your application affect the self-esteem of players who are ADHD, autistic or struggling to read and sit still. Can you tell us, in more detail, what you've seen, and tell us whether the changes have been subject to, or measured in, a proper study? I'm eager to learn more.

I look forward to hearing your response.

Best,
Diane

Dr. Ann Maloney of Maine Medical has done a quantitative year-long study and the results will be published soon. As a clinical psychologist, she has more than a passing interest on both the self esteem and mental well-being of her patients. Her interest has expanded to the general youth community as she did her study across the state of Maine in public schools using the Generation FIT model. You can easily view a short video of a young man who has the challenge of both autism and cerebral palsy. Please go to http://www.generation-fit.com/2_program.asp and view Clip 3 and Clip 4. I would be happy to address any other questions or comments.
