Our neurocognitive training program integrates NASA inspired technology with cognitive skills training and behaviour shaping to improve executive function and self-regulation. We take attributes like hyper-focus, high energy, creative thinking, strong emotions, and risk-taking and harness them to take control of life. They become your superpowers to improve future outcomes at school, work, and home.

• Attention

• Filtering  of distractions

• Task completion on time

• Social skills, motor skills, and hand-eye coordination

• Auditory processing skills

• Occurrence of positive behaviours 

Yes, transfer may include greater time on task, improved self-esteem, increased attention, better academic performance, improved social interactions, decreased impulsive behaviours, improved focus & concentration, and higher reading comprehension. 

We also include our Academic Bridge program that actually monitors a student's attention to homework assignments. The coach's assistance and parent/teacher reinforcement ensure transfer. 

Parents frequently find that their child can play commercial video games for hours without being distracted. This is because the graphics inherent in these games are incredibly over-stimulating. Any child can pay attention to a three ring circus - even one with ADHD. However, it is impossible for a classroom teacher, even in her best lesson, to be as stimulating. 

The learning process, whether it occurs in the classroom, home, work, or on the playground is seldom as highly stimulating as commercial video games. Play Attention does not require hand-eye coordination like regular video games. Play Attention allows the user to control its low-level stimulation video exercises by the attentive state alone! 

The student's brain signals actually control the games. Their mind becomes the joystick or the mouse. Its interactive software in the games provides a tool to help learn how to control levels of attention. Skill mastery is obtained through the use of the mind attending to level-appropriate stimuli rather than the use of a joystick.

For long-term benefits, the user should continue the program for a minimum of 40 to 60 hours. Although the user may demonstrate total mastery of the skills being taught, research indicates that long-term benefits occur after 40 to 60 hours of training. 

The Focus Academy works with persons from age 6 to adult. There is no age limit to strengthening memory & attention. You need to keep updating the way your brain processes information the same way you update the apps on your phone.
