Abstract

In the rehabilitation of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), most people have focused on medication and traditional behavioral interventions, while the application of modern technological has not received sufficient attention. The rise of virtual reality technology has brought unprecedented opportunities for the rehabilitation of children with ADHD and is highly compatible with the rehabilitation needs. Virtual reality technology can be skillfully integrated into various intervention methods such as electroencephalogram biofeedback, gamification therapy and exposure therapy. Through the instant feedback mechanism, it can bring significant improvements in terms of attention improvement, behavior improvemment and social ability enhancement for the rehabilitation training of children with ADHD.
