Apparently psycholigists in Florida are using Playstation and Playstation 2 to treat ADHD suffering patients. Maybe the Painstation would work better...

orly? thats kind of strange, but what if this makes the ADHD more severe, the Racing games now are all about fast paced sex action and thiey'll be outta their minds with all thats happening

Sex action? Ok...anyway, I think this might work, because games require attention, however this may be something they enjoy. Enjoyment+persistence=great things!

i saw a show on discorvery channel once about that. in that particular study, they didnt just let kids play videogames for fun (and i dont think any of these studies do). in that one, they had some weird thingy that made the controls less responsive if they werent paying attention to something... or something... i sorta forget. but i remember that the controls became less responsive.
