It is suggested that Brain2ACT program should be designed as the subject in Teacher training curriculum so that they will learn the exercises and practice in the classroom set up. The following article will describe attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in-depth and will show how each of the principles of Brain2Act intervention specifically addresses the characteristics associated with ADHD.
