HOW MUSIC WORKS IN HEALING ADHD?
For children with ADHD, music therapy bolsters attention and focus, reduces hyperactivity, and strengthens social skills. The neurotransmitter dopamine-- responsible for regulating attention, working memory, and motivation -- is in low supply in ADHD brains. Music shares neural networks with other cognitive processes. Through brain imaging, we can see how music lights up the left and right lobes. The goal of music therapy is to build up those activated brain muscles over time to help overall function.
