An attention specialist is one who is accredited and will provide you with a standardized assessment of your child’s attentional control and will spend time with you reviewing and interpreting your child’s results. But simply informing you about existing strengths and weaknesses is not enough. The attention specialist will use those results to develop a solution – that will address all of your child’s needs.
You will receive a printable report that outlines your child’s results. The assessment measures several aspects of Attention Control. SOME of these aspects are: Consistency, Performance, Impulsivity, Performance Decline, and Distractions (audio and visual).
