   : Back to School – ADHD Concerns

   As a new school year begins, many parents have concerns for their students who struggle with ADHD. Since stimulant medication often has adverse side affects, parents are reluctant to put their children on meds. You should consider informing your audience that there are alternatives to battling ADHD, other than medication.

   Play Attention is a computer based attention training program that has been helping clients develop attention skills since 1996. Thousand of people have graduated from the program and have gained success in coping with attention problems. Below I have included a brief overview of the program. I look forward to hearing from you regarding your level of interest in doing a story. Developer, Peter Freer, is available for an interview if you would like to speak with him.

   NASA Breakthrough Teaches ADHD Kids to Focus
   Space technology helps struggling children

   Eight year old Brody Bowen was out of control and diagnosed with ADHD. Teachers sent notes home saying he was a sweet child, but impulsive and inattentive in class. He beat up his brother and threw rocks at another child at school. His mother disciplined him constantly. “I wanna be good, Mommy, but I can’t,” he told his mother. “You are good, sweetheart,” his mother told him blinking back tears. Brody’s mother, Joyce, was desperate. She called his school counselors and pediatrician; she feared her son might need medicating. Then she discovered Play Attention on the internet. Play Attention uses special games that don’t require a joystick to play. Instead they work off brainpower. Brody can actually control his video games through a sensor-lined helmet. His mind power controls screen
   action!

   Play Attention is based on the same technology that NASA uses to train astronauts to increase attention during flight simulator training to insure peak performance during flight. Play Attention advanced that technology to build skill sets that are vital to everyday activities like better attention, improved short-term memory, listening skills, and filtering out distractions. After working with Play Attention for a few months, Brody began to finish his homework without a fight; what used to take hours was done in ten minutes! Joyce continued to receive phone calls from Brody’s teachers, but this time they were full of praise rather than concern.

   ADD Education
   Peter Freer, MAEd, founder of Unique Logic & Technology invented Play Attention® after years of teaching public school children suffering from concentration and behavior problems. His interest evolved into a personal crusade to learn more about children popularly labeled ‘uncontrollable’ and ‘unteachable,’ conditions typically associated with children having ADD and ADHD. After 9 long years of research and development, Peter created Play Attention. Now the world leader in attention training, Play Attention is used in thousands of homes, schools, psychologists’ offices, hospitals, and learning centers around the world.
