Total FocusTM A simple, step-by-step program by a noted child psychologist... and father of a child with ADHD
 "As a clinical psychologist, I've spent my life working with children with ADHD. In fact, my own son has it. I believe positive reinforcement is the key to improving behavior and performance in a child with attention and hyperactivity problems. In the Total Focus Program, I'll teach you the techniques I've used in my practice to help children concentrate, stay on-task and behave better in school. They're the tools we used in our home to manage my son's behavior and help him improve his focus and self-control. Read why the noted expert on attention disorders in children,
Beyond medication: A step-by-step program to help improve your child's focus and behavior at school and at home
If your child struggles in school and has behavior issues at home due to problems with attention and hyperactivity, I'll teach you simple techniques you can use with your child to help improve his ability to concentrate, stay on-task and control impulsive behavior—all in The Total Focus Program.
I'll show you how to communicate with and motivate an attention-disordered child to help you better manage his behavior and school performance. You'll learn techniques for calming a child who's constantly "wound up" so you can reduce over-stimulation and hyperactivity and get him to settle down.
Best of all, you can help your child learn techniques he can use to stay focused and alert, avoid outbursts and inappropriate behavior, and get along better with teachers and family.
How Total FocusTM Works
 In The Total Focus Program, I use behavior modification, cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive rehabilitation or "brain training" in a positive, team approach that's fun and rewarding for children and parents.
I'll help you establish a reward-based system at school and at home that keeps your child's "eyes on the prize," encouraging him to pay attention, complete his schoolwork and behave appropriately. On day one, you will learn how to set your child up for success—building on these successes to help him develop his ability to pay attention and control his behavior. Ultimately, you will be teaching your child coping skills that enable him to adapt to the challenges of attention disorders and hyperactivity.
