Success Stories

All my life I have had the symptoms of ADHD. Issues like not being able to stay on task, difficulty completing things, trouble paying and sustaining attention to details, procrastination, disorganized activity structure, (living life like a game of pinball), forgetfulness, impulsivity, easily distracted by basically anything. Though I liked the attention of being the class clown in school, I had difficulty with following the rules in social situations and staying on track with current conversations.

I have been homeschooling for 5 years. My oldest daughter, Katherine, would really struggle to stay focused. It was almost a constant effort to redirect her attention. Even her younger siblings were able to focus better than she.  In addition, even though Katherine has already been through a year’s worth of vision therapy, Play Attention has still been a huge benefit for her.
