The Impulse Control Game is designed to help young people with ADD, ADHD and other conditions involving impulse control problems. Learning to stop and think is a good start, but effective control of impulses requires the acquisition of specific skills. Students learn seven specific skills that have been proven effective to help impulsive children control their behavior, make good decisions, and avoid actions that are detrimental to themselves and others.
