Will this help a child who’s taking Ritalin for ADHD?
I generally don’t recommend doing a Davis program while a child is on medication for attention focus challenges. Stimulant medications like Ritalin tend to interfere with a student’s ability to learn mental imagery control and techniques like dial-setting, which are central to Davis methods.
Some families choose to do the program during a school break, when a “medication vacation” is also possible — but that decision is always between you and your child’s treating physician, not something I can advise on myself. I’m happy to talk it through with your family either way.
