How
Focus Helps Children and Teens with
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
"I have been working
with children and teens with ADHD for 20 years. When parents
first accepted the diagnosis of attention deficit disorder for their
son or daughter, they usually asked, 'is there something we can try
besides medication?' My answer was yes. I found various
tools could help children improve at school and at home. In
some cases their teachers could not believe they got better without
medication. I have also used these methods to help children
and teens either get off medication or to improve their behavior and
learning without increasing their medication.
While medication does
change brain function and often improves symptoms in various
psychiatric disorders, research has shown that psychological methods
not only bring about improvement but the change is often permanent.
Research has shown that in at least one disorder, brain function is
also permanently changed by the psychological treatment. The
methods used in Focus, have been shown to be successful in improving
learning and behavior in children with attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder through research studies.
Due to tight family
budgets and managed care, fewer children have the opportunity to see
a psychologist for an alternate approach to treatment . That
is why I put all those tools together in a kit that can be used by
parents in the home. Kids can receive the help they need in a
way that is not only affordable and convenient but also highly
effective. I encourage you to do what many other parents have
done, give Focus a try. You and your child will be happy you
did." - Robert Myers, PhD (Child Psychologist &
Director, Child Development Institute)
