What is The SMART® Program?

If you are the parent of a child with ADHD, you know how difficult things can be for your son or daughter both at school and at home. For long, the only options available for your child have been ADHD drugs which have a variety of harmful side effects but have no long-term benefit. But now, after years of scientific research, our doctors have created a proven, long-term solution for ADHD with no side effects.

Our Systematic Memory And Retention Training Program (SMART®) is a computer program designed by Doctors to relieve ADHD symptoms in kids ages 5-17. Our program does this using 3 daily computer exercises that strengthen the brain's functioning over 6 weeks. The exercises are fun, interactive, and based on scientifically proven methods that improve ADHD symptoms in kids. For a detailed scientific explanation, please read below.

Who Created The SMART® Program?

Beat ADHD's SMART® Program was created by Doctors from Harvard Medical School. And Beat ADHD's current Medical Board of Advisors contains experts from leading medical institutions such as Harvard Medical School, Weill Cornell Medical College, and Princeton University.

We have listed a selected group of our Medical Advisory Board below.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Beat ADHD's SMART® Program?

Beat ADHD's SMART® Program is an online computer program that is designed to treat kids with ADHD ages 5-17.

How does SMART® Work?

Our program uses scientifically proven computer games and exercises to improve ADHD symptoms. These computer exercises tackle the ADHD symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, irritability, and inattention by improving and strengthening working memory, a proven key deficit in kids with ADHD.

How fast does SMART® work?

Although every child is different, an improvement in ADHD symptoms has been seen in as little as 5 days.

What is a Typical Training day with SMART®?

Once your child signs up for the program, all he or she has to do is complete 3 simple computer exercises per day. These 3 computer exercises take less than a total of 12 minutes to do and the entire program takes only 6 weeks to complete.

Is SMART® Scientifically Proven to Work?

Aside from being easy, our program is also effective. Unlike many supplements and medications which are based on hypothetical theories, Beat ADHD SMART® is based on scientifically proven and published methods of improving ADHD symptoms. Furthermore, our program is powered by our patented Systematic Memory And Retention Training (SMART®) engine. Our SMART® engine monitors your child's performance in real time and adjusts the difficulty level of the program accordingly. As a result, your child is always pushed to the maximal level of his brain capacity, whether he's six or sixteen.

What is Working Memory?

Working memory is the "short term memory" of the brain that allows us to hold and organize information in our mind for a brief period of time. It is an important part of the brain and plays a crucial role in executing tasks like reading, learning, reasoning, memorizing, and focusing. Working memory capacity differs from person to person and can be thought of as the number of different tasks that a person can remember at a time. For example, a person who can only remember 5 things at a time has a weaker working memory than a person who can remember 9 things at a time.

How is Working Memory related to ADHD?

Multiple scientific research studies have now proven that a poor working memory is the core problem in people with ADHD. This is not a surprising fact, given the importance of working memory in executing tasks like focusing, memorizing, and paying attention. Luckily, research studies have also proven that children with ADHD can successfully improve their ADHD symptoms and have better attention, focus, organization, and self-control by doing working memory computer exercises. In fact, some computer exercises have been shown to be so success in treating ADHD, that children have remained completely off all medications even years after the exercises were completed.

What's the difference between SMART® and Drugs?

Besides not having any harmful side effects, another main differences between Beat ADHD's SMART® Program and ADHD drugs is that our program addresses your child's ADHD symptoms at the core for long-lasting benefits. With drugs, the symptoms of ADHD are merely covered for a few hours before the next pill. And ADHD symptoms recur immediately after your child stops taking the medication. With Beat ADHD's SMART®, we address ADHD symptoms right at the core center with working memory and neuroplasticity. The goal of our program is to strengthen your child's Working Memory and Prefrontal Cortex (The Brain's Attention Center) to a level where he or she no longer has any ADHD symptoms and the need for medication no longer exists.

Why Try Our Program?

Many parents have chosen Beat ADHD SMART® as part of an overall treatment plan for their children's ADHD because it is easy, effective, and side effect-free. our 100+ exercises are fun, exciting, modern, and designed for the 21st century kids. Most importantly however, our exercises are effective! Furthermore, to make our program even more effective, we have built in video game-like achievements.

The Science Behind SMART®

Basically, Working Memory Exercises such as those in the SMART® Program have been proven to improve the symptoms of ADHD because they make the brain cells in the Brain's Attention Center stronger. Now let's go onto a more in depth scientific discussion.

The Working Memory of the brain is the "short term" operational memory of the brain that is in charge of organizing thoughts. It is often thought of as the number of distinct tasks that a person can remember at one time. The part of the brain that is responsible for Working Memory is the PreFrontal Cortex or PFC, a region that is at the very front of the brain (anterior to the frontal lobes of the brain.) The PreFrontal Cortex is the most advanced part of the brain and carries out what is referred to as the 'Executive Functioning' of the brain. The PreFrontal Cortex is responsible for carrying out complex tasks such as making decisions, paying attention, expressing feelings, and setting goals. It also controls a great deal of a person's personality.

Scientific studies with complex brain imaging scans such as MRI and fMRI have demonstrated a significant difference in the size of the PreFrontal Cortices of children with ADHD compared to children without ADHD. These scans have demonstrated that Children with ADHD have reduced size and functioning of the PreFrontal Cortices as well as the adjacent Anterior Temporal Lobes (A section of the brain which is also tied to Working Memory and Impulsivity). However, the brain, just like any other organ in the body, can become stronger with exercise. The brain does this by a process called 'Neuroplasticity' which is the brain's ability to mold and change itself based on environmental stimuli. This is exactly how Working Memory Exercises improves the symptoms of ADHD.

Working Memory Computer Exercises stimulate the brain cells (neurons) in the PreFrontal Cortex and make them work harder. By exercising, these brain cells undergo positive changes which make their connections with each other much stronger. By having a better connection with each other, these brain cells in the all-important PreFrontal Cortex are now able to communicate better and function at a much higher level. And by functioning at a higher level, the brain cells in the Prefrontal cortex, are able to do better at their job of paying attention, solving complex tasks, setting goals, and controlling impulses. Therefore, working Memory Exercises improve the symptoms of ADHD because they make the brain cells in the Brain's Attention Center (The PreFrontal Cortex) stronger.
