That may lead to isolation, low self-esteem and even depression. Music is shown to significantly help children maintain focused attention as well as offer a timed structure around their actions, involving melody and tempo. Music can also aid the development of cognitive ability, self-confidence and promote limits and rules. Through music, children can learn how to control their impulsivity, learn to pause and wait for their turn and apply such social skills to their every-day life. This paper presents a multimodal 3D serious game named “ADDventurous Rhythmical Planet”. Its goal is to exploit the benefits of music and rhythm helping children diagnosed with ADHD to overcome their psychosocial challenges, unlike currently available games offering interaction based on only the visual modality.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/582–59313th International Conference on Interactive Mobile Communication Technologies and LearningInternet of Things, Infrastructures and Mobile Applications Giannaraki Marina Γιανναρακη Μαρινα Moumoutzis Nektarios Μουμουτζης Νεκταριος Kourkoutas, Elias E Mania Aikaterini Μανια Αικατερινη Springer ADHD Social skills Music therapy Rhythm Psychosocial functioning Serious game
