Is there a rational help by a Tomatis music therapy offered for ADHD? I saw an advertisment for a CD with Tomatis therapy for ADHD. Would you recommend this therapy?

Answer:
Many people and companies try to sell any possible item to the parents or patients with ADHD. Music might activate the brain and promote well-being.

They claim to achieve a maturation of the brain, but these concepts are old, not very rational any more and seem to promote only the business of these companies. Sorry, there is not a big chance to achieve any positive results except some subjective well-being. Maybe it would be easier to listen to a tune, sing together or go to a concert with the family...
