The goal of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to test the impact of a virtual reality program for improving the ability of emerging adults (age 18-25) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to stay focused while completing homework and studying. This study compares the impact of using a virtual reality headset to using a virtual reality headset while also receiving feedback about levels of focus to a control group. The main question is whether participants demonstrate significantly improved concentration while completing homework and studying in virtual reality and whether they enjoy and prefer working in a virtual reality environment. Concentration is measured both through participant report and also using keyboard and mouse click data to assess work productivity objectively.

Objective On-Task Assessment Algorithm
Timeframe: Participants had 2 weeks to complete sessions 1-7 and a 3rd week to complete the last 5 sessions, equaling 12 sessions within 3 weeks.
Homework Concentration Index
Timeframe: Participants had 2 weeks to complete sessions 1-7, a 3rd week to complete the last 5 sessions (sessions 8-12), equaling 12 sessions within 3 weeks.The 1-7 and 8-12 time points were only for compensation purposes and were not outcome measure points.
