📘 Putting on the Brakes Activity Book
“I personally used this workbook with my son when he was in Primary 3, it helped me explain to him what the ADHD condition meant in very practically illustrated ways. It’s a great work-together interactive activity book for parents to use with their Primary-school aged child to help them understand themselves and discuss strategies to help them with homework, food choices and exercises. There is also a teen version available now.” — Tina Tan, Director
📗 ADHD 2.0 by Edward Hallowell
“This book is the most current ADHD explainer written by 2 researchers with ADHD. It helps parents and educators understand the science behind the struggles of ADHD and offers practical solutions to address them. It’s an important read for any caregiver and professional.” — Tina Tan, Director
⏲️ Visual Timer
“Persons with ADHD have difficulty sensing the passing of time due to time-blindness. This visual timer (and others like this), gives them visual cues to the passing of the minutes, helping to build a better awareness and responsiveness to timed tasks.” — Tina Tan, Director
🪨 Sensory Fidget Stones
“Fidget stones and similar fidget items can be very helpful to allow children/teens with hyperactivity needs to move while staying seated during lesson time, or any seated activity. The quiet movement does not attract attention, and can help the child/teen dissipate their restless energy in order to better focus on the lesson or task at hand.” — Tina Tan, Director
🧩 Multi-Fidget Tool
“This fidget is rubberised and quiet and has many different options for the child or teen to ‘stim’ with, allowing them to then pay fuller attention to the teacher or task.” — Tina Tan, Director
