Programs to address Attention Problems
Why are so many children today having attentional problems? The answer is not a simple one; what we do see though is that not all children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) have been accurately diagnosed. According to Dr. Ron Minson, attentional problems may be caused by an auditory processing disorder, anxiety, learning disability, a food or chemical sensitivity or even giftedness.
At ITS Integrated Therapy Solutions we offer a comprehensive assessment to determine exactly what kind of attention difficulty is present, and recommend an appropriate program.
We begin with a consultation including:
- personal medical and developmental history
- school and social performance
- family history
- listening test
- LAC
- Laterality Test
Based on the finding of the above, additional testing may be indicated:
- Test of Variable Attention (TOVA)
- Test of auditory processing
- Digit Span
- Sensory Integration Profile
Our programs consist of non-invasive methods, including:
Awaken Listening using Dynamic Listening Systems, an auditory training and re-education program has been used successfully by our clients for:
- increased ability to focus
- increased attention span
- improved ability to organize and complete tasks
