How music helps with ADHD
Music is not a replacement for traditional ADHD treatments, but it can be an effective complement for some individuals with ADHD. Listening and truly engaging with music has been proven by various researchers to have many positive effects on any individual and their health. It typically has a strong effect on one’s emotions but can also be used for memory strength and task endurance for example. With ADHD, research emphasizes that music can help enhance areas of the brain that are not necessarily stimulated. Examples of this include one’s focus strength or auditory skills. A stronger focus therefore leads to more concentration. Improved auditory skills results in a more powerful development of receptive language which is comprehending others, and expressive language which is responding to others, both of which are critical to superior connections and success.
