The WHO is the most important consideration. It is likely that you started researching Play Attention becausesomeone in your life is struggling with attention. You want to help that person reach his/her full potential. We un-derstand the struggle and your concern. That is why we are here.

Play Attention is the leading computer-based learning system for students with attention problems.Recommendations for the Who:

• The student is at least 5 years old but can be as old as 105 years old • He/She needs to improve the cognitive skills we address such as attention, memory, task completion, social skills etc • The student can have other areas of difficulty as it is very rare that attention difficulties exist on their own. • The student does NOT need to be identified with an official diagnoses, as Play Attention is not a medical device. It is simply an educational tool designed to teach skills. • He/She does NOT have to necessarily have an attention difficulty (ADHD). Anyone can do peak performance training to improve his/her personal cognitive skills.Who are your potential students:Who are your potential students:

• Students with ADHD • Students with Autism • Students with Aspergers • Students with TBI • Students wanting peak performance trainingWho can run the Play Attention sessions:

• Classroom Teachers • Special Education Teachers • Resource Teachers • Classroom Aides • School Psychologists • Guidance Counselors • Parent VolunteersYYou may be able to identify with the journeys of some of our current Play Attention folks ...Student Counselor“My Play Attention student, Joel, is motivated to work harder. Concentration is no longer a difficult task for him.This means getting Joel to go to school is no longer a struggle; in fact he looks forward to class! His self-confi-dence has improved and he believes that he can achieve his goals and do well if he puts his mind to it.

To witness the big difference Play Attention has made in this young boy’s life makes me proud to practice what Ido, and help children realize their potential!” - Sandra Roberts, Registered Counselor

Psychologist

“Upon completing an assessment, we realized Jasmine did not have a motivational or a study problem. Jasminehad ADHD, attention deficit hyperactive disorder. Following her diagnosis, we put together a treatment plan thataddressed both her short-term and long-term needs. To meet her short-term attention needs, a physician pre-scribed medications to help her focus. To meet her long-term attention needs, we placed her on “Play Attention,”a computer-based attention training system that has been educationally proven to help individuals with ADHD develop their ability to focus and reduce impulsivity. We also included an agreement that she could try out for theswimming team, as long as she met agreed upon Play Attention behavioral and academic milestones.

Twelve months later, Jasmine had achieved all of her milestones, was elected to the Dean’s List (which she remained on through graduation) and was taken off medications. She also did so well in the pool that she quali-fied for a highly selective swimming team.

Watching her success, I recalled how empowering it was to be able to offer Play Attention as a tangible solution.

As I spoke with her parents during her graduation, they were exceedingly appreciative of our work together, espe-cially as it relates to Play Attention.” - Shane Perrault, Ph.D.

“I have been in Special Education for more than 20 years. This is the best scientifically based intervention that I have seen to address attention issues.” – Dr. Sam Dempsey

What is Play Attention and What do I get with the educational system?

Attention problems can be caused by a vast variety of things. Studies have shown causes related to divorce, sub-stance abuse, environment, genetics...the list goes on and on, and it may be caused by multiple factors thatcause multiple problems including behavior, defiance, academic failure, poor relationships, and far more.So our focus is to provide a program that will cover all bases; mind, body, & environment.

You get quality, personalized, and professional attention to help insure you are able to address the needs of yourstudents first and foremost. ADHD or undiagnosed attention problems require an overall program of care thatincludes:

• Super NASA inspired technology that let’s you actually control fun computer exercises by mind alone (yes, that’s right!). • Nurturing support teams that know and understand your needs as a professional as well as your students’ needs. • Live training from a Master’s level professional to insure your success. We’ll provide you with the tools you need to teach your students the skills necessary to become a superstar and show off the truly intelligent people who’s hidden behind attention problems. • Behavior shaping that teaches self-regulation and reduces classroom strife. An environment where success is normal, expected, and life changing. • You get a full program that addresses the mind, the body, and the environment with no ongoing or hidden charges.Why Play Attention?YYour parents, students, and colleagues are looking to you for solutions.

“I cried the first time Brody and I sat down and read a book together with out a fuss,” she recalls, “Brody snuggledup to me and smiled, and I saw in him the happy, successful child I always hoped he could be.”– Brody’s mom, JoyceTo avoid any confusion about anything else out there, let’s clear this up:

There are many “cognitive games” that say they will make your brain better because of “neuroplasticity.” It seemslike they’re all over TV nowadays. That’s called cognitive training. While some improvement may be made by theaverage person, hereaverage person, here’s what independent research from Tufts University School of Medicine determined aboutcognitive games and ADHD students:

• Cognitive training did not produce any significant changes in ADHD students while Play Attention made significant changes in that same study. • Students who underwent brain training games (cognitive training) required increases in medication. Play Attention students did not. • Play Attention students maintained their significant gains even after the researchers came back 6 months later to test them once again.

Play Attention performed far better than cognitive games alone in independent randomized, controlled studies. Itincreased student attention. Greater attention = greater learning.

Play Attention includes our exclusive BodyWave armband that measures brain activity indicative of attention. Youwill activate our great cognitive games by applying full attention to get started. When you are actively engaged orpaying attention, the brain emits a signal – an attention signature. The BodyWave armband used in Play Attention(see TIME magazine and Popular Science) monitors this signal through the body and transmits it wirelessly to thecomputecomputer. This allows you to control our computer exercises by mind alone! Attention is now concrete andcontrollable.View a short video demonstration

Opportunity is Knocking

Accountability and achievement are now closely linked in the educational community. Students with ADHD havea difficult time achieving. Educators are held accountable even when they don’t have the tools to teach ADHDstudents.Listen to what other educators have to sayListen to what other educators have to sayYou know you can help so many students succeed by starting a Play Attention program.

This technology strengthens your mind so you control your mind, it doesn’t control you.
