Nancie Rouleau, neuropsychologist, professor and researcher at the CERVO Research Centre will participate in a symposium at the next ACFAS meeting, in Montréal on May 12th in the afternoon. She will present a new mindfulness program she and her team have developed for children with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which they have named programme PEACE (Programme d’Entraînement de l’Attention et de la Compassion chez l’Enfant). Professor Rouleau will present preliminary results of a first group that have followed the PEACE program, which showed a significant improvement in selective and sustained attention of the participants.
