The Impulse Control Game

Details

The Impulse Control Game™ is an educational and therapeutic board game designed to help young people with ADD, ADHD, and other conditions involving impulse control problems.

Learning to stop and think is a good start, but effective control of impulses requires the acquisition of specific skills. The game teaches seven specific skills that have been proven in the research literature to help impulsive children control their impulses, make good decisions, and avoid actions that are detrimental to themselves and others.

In the game, players drive their cars, making their way through a maze of roads. At each junction they have to make a decision regarding the best path.Some paths are shorter, but contain various hazards that are represented by road signs.

Players must avoid hasty decisions and choose their routes in a way that looks forward to the consequences of each path. They learn that the "easy way" is not always the best way.

In order to do well in the game, players are forced to delay decisions until the facts and consequences have been considered and to plan ahead. In this way, the play of the game reinforces the skills that the players are learning by following the directions on the cards that they pick.
