Hi! My name is John and I am 15 years old. I was diagnosed with a seizure disorder when I was a baby and with ADHD when I was four years old. I have taken medication for both and done counseling for many years, but my parents realized that I needed something more to help with the ADHD.
I started Play Attention in the summer of 2023. When I started the program, my attention and distractibility were terrible. I would get really high numbers for fidgets, off-task behaviors, impulsiveness and outbursts. Play attention would make me angry because I felt like it was the sensors fault and not my off-task behaviors fault.
Overtime, I realized that my inability to focus was the cause of my poor performance in the games. I worked hard to get control of my attention, and I started succeeding at the games.
I am more aware of how much I fidget during an activity because of Play Attention. Play Attention is work and it isn’t always fun for me but deep down I know it is good for me. I am not losing as many of my things, I am concentrating longer, and I am not having outbursts like I used to.
I will keep putting in the time doing Play Attention because I know it will help me succeed in life.
