Add/adhd: What Are Our Options?

There are many probable causes for ADD and ADHD symptoms

. They include genetics, physical issues, diet, environmental stress, and cognitive weaknesses. For those who have been labeled ADD or AD/HD, it seems that there are not a lot of options out there. You can try ignoring the symptoms and think that one might out grow them. You can use stimulating medicines and have to deal with the potential side effects. Or you could try special education programs. However, those are not the only options. One very powerful option is cognitive skills testing and training. Weak underlying cognitive skills directly translate into frustration and difficulty in school, work, sports, extra curricular activities, and at home. If a student has weak cognitive skills, that frustration and difficulty is often shown by students acting out in class. That frustration is often translated as symptoms of ADD(Attention Deficit Disorder) or ADHD when instead, it is a cognitive skill weakness that can be identified and corrected.

Brainworx offers cognitive skills training in the key areas that directly affect ADD/ADHD symptoms by focusing on the fundamental attention skills within the brain. Those skills are sustained attention, divided attention, and selective attention. Sustained attention is how long one can go about doing something. Divided attention is ones ability to do more than one task at the same time (often called multi-tasking). Selective attention is ones ability to stay focused on the task at hand and block out other distractions. Through intense cognitive training, strengthening of those weak skills can result in dramatic improvement in behaviors typically associated with ADD/ADHD. Approximately half of those students taking medication prior to training have either significantly reduced the amount of medication they were taking, or have completely eliminated it after completing the program. Although we cannot guarantee a cure, these are very impressive results! If you or someone you know is having difficulty staying on task, paying attention, or struggles with learning or reading, one or more weak underlying cognitive skills may be the problem.
