A new UWindsor research project to study ways of managing ADHD is looking for children in grades four and five who have been diagnosed with the disorder to participate in a study.
The 12-week program, which will run two evenings a week, will operate in a small group setting in which children will be getting physical exercise or learning to meditate to manage their symptoms.
A program led by UWindsor psychologist Carlin Miller and aimed at parents and teachers of children with diagnosed ADHD will begin a new eight-week session Thursday.
Psychology professor Carlin Miller will address the practice of mindfulness in a free colloquium Thursday.

Neuropsychology Masters Candidate Molly Cairncross says mindfulness-based therapy's participants reported a significant reduction in core symptoms of ADHD
Mindfulness-based therapies could help decrease the symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
A workshop Thursday introduced meditation techniques to more than 30 UWindsor employees.
Carlin Miller will be researching the effectiveness of a course designed to improve mindfulness for teachers and parents of children with ADHD.
Anyone who ever raised and educated a child with ADHD knows it can be a challenge, but armed with new stimulus funding, a psychology professor is planning to equip parents and teachers with skills to better deal with their demands.
When a child is diagnosed with a behavioural problem or a learning disability, it’s often because a teacher has spotted the signs of it first.
