HOW IT STARTED
ADHD is a disorder which already impacted the person facing it mentally by having trouble to concentrate and focus while people who is exposed to stress-like environment tends to have anxiety and sudden panic which can also cause them to lose focus due to extreme nervousness and overthinking. Both of these groups are having one thing in common which is the inability to concentrate and to stay focus either because of the mental disorder or exposed to an extreme situation. Thus, Velcro Fidget Pen is design aiming to divert the disturbances that prevent concentration and focus by clicking, rolling and pulling the features built in the Velcro Fidget Pen. This act of handling the fidget pen can help the user to direct their mind of focus from thinking about the disturbances to only think about the intention of clicking the fidget pen. The use of this device can cause the user to be lost in thought or mildly hypnotized which is an instant way of reducing anxiety or nervousness as the user minds are now practically on the device. This is also a good practice for ADHD person as it can train them to improve focus and concentration over time.
