N2 - With the rapid development of medical knowledge, more young generations are confirmed to suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, abbreviated as ADHD. Inattentive, hyperactive and impulsivity symptoms are three categories that are signs of ADHD. Fidgeting, interrupting, losing homework, daydreaming are all common signs of ADHD. It affects student learning performance and classroom order. The most effective ADHD treatment is a combination of medication and behavioural therapy. However, there are many side effects of ADHD medication use. Thus, fidget toys, therapeutic devices, and other solutions that make use unconscious repetitive actions to increase their concentration. In this solution, feedback is considered as a helpful tool to let ADHD students concentrate on class and improve their learning effectiveness. Nevertheless, in some cases, other students are attracted to the attention by fidget toys and lose focus on class. Therefore, students are forbidden to bring fidget toys back to school. How to take a good balance between regulations of school and student needs was the problem that we were concerned about. This study aims to help ADHD students to reduce their concentration disorders and anxiety problems and use them with school at the same time. Finally, there was testing to let ADHD patients try the model in reality to evaluate the performance. The experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
