Do you or your child have a problem concentrating?

Ever think things are not your fault? Does your attention often jump all over the place?

Focus on Learning can help provide you with a solution. Davis dyslexia correction procedures help the ADD/ADHD individual achieve self-control and overcome problems with focusing attention and staying on task.The Davis Attention deficit treatment program is a drug free, highly effective treatment program for kids or adults with attention deficit difficulties. The Davis Dyslexia Attention program for ADD/ADHD helps the client learn methods to control anxiety, hyperactivity and inappropriate behaviour. The person takes responsibility for the program themselves with lots of help and encouragement. The ADD/ADHD program is run intensively over a week, one on one with the client.

Missing life concepts People that have attention deficit disorder syptoms often have missing life concepts, which make it difficult to understand how something can be controlled by the person themself. They often feel everything was caused by someone or something else. They make also have difficulty taking turns for example, or be somewhat impulsive. During the attention deficit program with Focus on Learning, the clients learn some important concepts that were previously impossible for them to understand - time, consequence, sequencing, order/disorder to name a few. These concepts are normally learned by a person as a toddler, but for some people this does not occur. Davis treatment for attention deficit can correct this.

Many changes are immediate but more importantly, the person can continue to improve once these concepts are in place. A major improvment is the ability to focus or reorient, and to recognise and control their energy/anxiety levels.

What is involved in the ADD/ADHD attention mastery program?

• Methods for focusing and exercises to strengthen this ability
• Methods for tracking and dealing with energy levels and anxiety levels
• The understanding of missing life concepts such as consequence, time, sequence
• Working through past behavioural situations
• Understanding how they could have changed past situations

What is the link between Dyslexia and ADD / ADHD?

Davis research has shown that attention deficit (Add or ADHD) is a form of dyslexia. The common link is the tendency to disorientate, meaning go into their own world. People with ADD symptoms have a very fast internal clock and nothing outside of their body ever happens fast enough to make them feel comfortable or to maintain their interest. They can think very quickly because of their ability to think in visual images or to think conceptually. This is also why some people with ADD or ADHD may also have reading problems.
To see research articles on children or adults with reading problems that have ADHD or ADD use the link at the bottom of the page.

Will the ADD/ADHD be cured after the program?

ADD/ADHD is not an illness and as such we are not looking to cure it. People that have ADD/ADHD type symptoms will always be more curious than most people, they may be more easily bored than others. However, after the program the person will now have the ability to focus, and to control their energy levels when required. They will now have an understanding of the concepts required to make decisions in everyday life. This allows them to remain the lively, interesting people they have always been but without the debilitating extras that are part of attention deficit(ADD/ADHD).

The Davis program can change the life of an attention deficit person.



How does the Davis Attention Mastery Program differ from other exercise based programs?

Davis Attention Mastery program differs from other exercise based treatments, because not only does the Davis program help the person to learn how to focus attention, and to strengthen this ability using balance type exercises, it also covers 'life' concepts that are required to be able to truely master the impulsive side of attention deficit - ADD or ADHD.
