GILDEN, DAVID
Watch "Using a drumbeat to diagnose ADHD"
As the number of children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) grows, psychologists are questioning the diagnosis process. Professor David Gilden is working on creating a diagnostic tool using drumming and other methods to replace diagnostic tests currently in use, tests which he says are not effective.
“People have been focusing on ADHD as if it's an attention disorder as something having to do with attention, and that's how they're treating it, but I don't think that's what it is."
-- David Gilden, professor (cognitive systems)
