I started working with Jane in August of 2013, she was my very first client after purchasing the Play Attention system and starting my company. She was a bright 8 year old who was falling behind in second grade and had been diagnosed with ADHD. She frequently got in trouble for being off task, not staying in her seat, and talking out of turn. She also had a very hard time with reading comprehension. During Jane’s first few sessions of Play Attention her scores were in the high 30’s and 40’s for attention. Playing each game for 5 minutes seemed like torture for her and she was anxious to move on to the next one almost immediately. We also did academic tutoring together and the more she played Play Attention the more I saw improvement in her work.

We were able to work together 4 days a week for two hours, during the summer break. That’s when she really improved. By August of 2014 her scores were in the 70’s and occasionally 80’s for attention. She now was able to stay in her seat and was getting good marks in conduct. She also had increased her on task time from 5-8 minutes to 20 minute intervals.
Jane also started to enjoy reading and she now picked out which book to read with me. I was astounded that she was able to recall events from the story and give me the setting and explain what happened to the characters.
We continued to work together for another year, and I was able to help Jane and her family transition into 3rd grade and prepare for 4th. During this time she also was diagnosed with an Autism spectrum disorder which further helped us understand some of her behaviors, but thanks to Play Attention a lot of the problems she was having in class were managed even before she got specific help for it.”
