We began Play Attention with Evan in March of 2014. Evan was 11 years old at the time and struggling with his ability to focus in school and extracurricular activities. Evan’s grades were suffering, but more importantly, his inability to focus on everyday tasks was chipping away at his confidence as well.
What makes Evan’s success so great is how his ability to focus improved without the help of ADD medication. As parents, we were concerned with the side effects of ADD medication because Evan has always been a picky eater and a common side effect of ADD medication is a loss of appetite.
Evan’s psychologist introduced us to biofeedback and Evan enjoyed the games he played at his weekly sessions, so we did some research...
No one expects a stroke, I felt I was too young. I was 63 at the time and thought “strokes happen to other people.” I was confused when it struck. My husband came home at the time and he realized I couldn’t speak. He rushed me to our hospital which was fairly close. They took me in quickly because my husband told them that I was having a stroke.
