How Focus Helps Children and Teens with 
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

"I have been working with children and teens with ADHD for 20 years.  When parents first accepted the diagnosis of attention deficit disorder for their son or daughter, they usually asked, 'is there something we can try besides medication?'  My answer was yes.  I found various tools could help children improve at school and at home.  In some cases their teachers could not believe they got better without medication.  I have also used these methods to help children and teens either get off medication or to improve their behavior and learning without increasing their medication.

While medication does change brain function and often improves symptoms in various psychiatric disorders, research has shown that psychological methods not only bring about improvement but the change is often permanent.  Research has shown that in at least one disorder, brain function is also permanently changed by the psychological treatment.  The methods used in Focus, have been shown to be successful in improving learning and behavior in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder through research studies.  

Due to tight family budgets and managed care, fewer children have the opportunity to see a psychologist for an alternate approach to treatment .  That is why I put all those tools together in a kit that can be used by parents in the home.  Kids can receive the help they need in a way that is not only affordable and convenient but also highly effective.  I encourage you to do what many other parents have done, give Focus a try.  You and your child will be happy you did." - Robert Myers, PhD (Child Psychologist & Director, Child Development Institute)
