Most people recognize that individuals with ADHD face many challenges related to their ability to control impulsive activity. Symptoms like fidgeting, being distracted and acting rashly are well-known. What few people see, however, are the additional emotional and psychological symptoms that also accompany ADHD and ADD. While medications help, individuals often find themselves needing occasional temporary help to focus and relieve stress. That’s why a Toronto area therapist started an on-line store that offers toys and tools to help manage ADHD.

Occupational therapist, Wendy Clifton, has been working with children and adults for over 25 years. In her practice, she helps individuals with many physical and emotional difficulties, including those associated with ADHD.

Since individuals with ADHD also often have learning disabilities and suffer from coordination difficulties, Clifton has found that some of the tools she uses to help with physical conditions can also help manage other symptoms. For instance, some educational games can help with prolonging focus. The classic “stress ball” helps too. There are many similar resources that can be used by individuals with ADHD. Her website offers products for everyone including infants, children, teens and seniors.

The website accepts a variety of payment methods including PayPal, offers gift certificates and even gift wrapping. There is a small charge for shipping and an easy return policy.
