Veteran Actor Max Gail discusses ADHD and Play Attention

Max Gail Actor and Parent

"So I'm Max Gail and I'm a parent and a person. I've been a teacher, an actor, and a student for a long time. Probably most people would connect me up as an actor or I get recognized for the work I've done as an actor because it's a real visible kind of work."

"People say, 'Where do I know you from?'' which I hear a lot, or gee you look familiar to me or something or haven't I seen you in the movies or something. I start with Barney Miller because it's a TV show that was on for, we shot for seven and a half seasons and then went immediately into reruns and were on twice a night for another 8 years in most cities and it's still playing some places."

"We had critical success and we had a lot of fun doing it. I did a show, and we did half a season and they showed it on ABC called Sons and Daughters."

Max and Max Gail, Jr.

"My son Max... really, really bright kid, was having difficulties with certain aspects of school and I saw that they were the same difficulties I had although when I was in school, it was easier to slide around those things and most of the solutions that were being offered had to do with drugs and I had some intuitive issues with that."

Max and Play Attention

"I love the name Play Attention. I love that there's something behind it very meaningful that comes from people who have worked with kids and care about kids and care about these kinds of problems and have identified that there are solutions."

"Play Attention with the technology and the coaching components of it really creates a way that there can be that guide in a practice of working to develop those kinds of skills and strengths that are missing. Play Attention, you know, puts that focus on play state which is really how we learn. Play Attention provides a practice that's meaningful and can be fun to do and this is kind of specialty technology, even though it's made up of stuff that's around."

"It's kind of new to get it out to people. It's new for people to hear about it so that process is mostly families or people that are at their wits end, you know, that finally find out about Play Attention and they call and get connected and try it and it works and then they're really thankful. They're having a lot of recurring pain and... lack of success or confusion or just problems in their lives that can really be helped, or there�s something that can be done do about it."

"I have to say as a person who resonates with this, personally, both in what my life has been, where my strengths and weaknesses have been, in everything I've tried to do."

"At a different time if they had been diagnosing people with ADD or ADHD or maybe Aspergers or any of these things, you know, I could make that cut, you know. Watching my son in particular but really all my kids in some ways, you know, struggle with these things and then to see that there really is a way to use some technology and some understandings and some relationships to deal with those issues in a way to create a since of having some kind of empowerment over that rather than a kind of powerless confused sort of feeling that makes you want to deny it or run away from it or get angry about it or blame somebody. It's just a really wonderful thing!"
