Training with Attention-Impaired Children

Training with Attention-Impaired Children

• the classic therapy book on children with ADHD
• with work sheets


Overactive, attention-impaired children find it difficult to turn their interest to something and stick to it. They go from one thing to the next, without bringing anything to completion. The tried and tested training programme intervenes specifically at this point.

The intervention programme leads to a detailed and careful diagnosis and provides the necessary procedures or materials. The therapy seizes specifically on the focal points of the disorder which have been diagnosed. Both the child and the parents are provided with specific competencies.

The intervention is divided up into four therapy modules, which are presented in detail:
(1) Basic training to acquire specific skills in self-control
(2) Strategy training to develop a carefully ordered procedure
(3) Knowledge exchange to make it easier to transfer the content of the therapy to the school environment
(4) A guide to help parents support progress in therapy and address specific interaction problems or education issues
