“Her friends feel insulted that she doesn’t listen to them, and think that she just ignores them.”

The Attention Element

Attention difficulties manifest also in social occasions. It is hard to keep track of and remember long stories told by friends, what occasionally lead to social disconnect and cause the child to withdraw into himself.

How did we achieve results?

The attention function assessment showed difficulties in sustaining a stable level of attention.

The treatment included 24 sessions, in which we utilized computerized cognitive training to improve sustained attention, and analyzed day-to-day occurrences in school, with friends, classmates and at home.

We developed together an awareness for feelings of frustration, lack of interest and avoidance, and learned how to identify where do these feelings stem from, and developed and practiced strategies to help function better in school and in social circumstances.
