This study explored whether immersive virtual reality (IVR) could help children with ADHD with their school participation. Researchers found that children with ADHD who participated in an 8-week IVR program showed significant improvements in how they engaged with school, as rated by their teachers, compared to a control group. This suggests that IVR might be a helpful tool for improving various aspects of school involvement for children with ADHD.
