We’re excited to announce b-Calm has received a very positive review from author and Autism advocate Adonya Wong.

We’d like to say “Thanks” to Adonya for taking the time to write about b-Calm and would encourage you check out her book!
Different Types of ADHD?
My youngest son is constantly bouncing from one thing to another, it’s next to impossible to keep him focused on just one thing (except video games or Star Wars). He’s hyperactive with a capital “H”. It makes sense that he has ADHD.
But, have you ever wondered if your daughter could have ADHD? She’s sweet, and daydreams alot…sometimes the teacher asks if she’s had enough sleep because she almost fell asleep in class?
ADHD is considered a “Spectrum Disorder“, there are many types of ADHD. I found a site that shows a number of the different types, using familiar cartoon characters as examples. Take a look at:
b-Calm -Not Just for Kids Anymore-
Was very excited to receive a review of b-Calm by Bryan Hutchinson. For those of you who don’t know Brian, he is the author of adderworld.com and moderator of the ADHD community social network adderworld.ning.com
If that isn’t enough, Bryan has also written an excellent book of memoirs about growing up with undiagnosed ADHD. One Boy’s Struggle is an compelling account of the struggles associated with ADHD from the eyes of one who as lived it and thrived as an adult.
Bryan gives alot of insight into how our b-Calm system can be a tool for ADHD adults. You can read his blog post here.
Typically, our technology has found application in the classroom with younger students. We’re encouraged by Bryan’s comments as it shows the effectiveness for b-Calm as a tool for adults as well!
New b-Calm Review and Giveaway
As a company, we’re constantly looking for parents and teachers to give us feedback on our products. Recently, Tara Robertson author of the website www.tarasviewoftheworld. com tested our system with her 6 year old son Aiden. We were very encouraged by her comments:
We have found that Aiden responds extremely well to the B-Calm system! It definitely helps to calm him down. When we need Aiden to be calm we simply hand him the headphones and he puts them on willingly… which may not seem like a big deal to some of you but TRUST ME, it is. He has told me several times that he likes to have the system on and will even ask for it on occasion.
