Have you ever reflected on how crucial it is for your child to pay attention in school?

The school environment presents extreme challenges to anyone who struggles with attention. A student is required to stay focused on the teacher’s words while filtering out the dynamics among 15 or more classmates. Examples; dropping pencils, coughing, sneezing, note-passing, private conversations, fidgeting and countless other distractions within and outside the classroom. They must then process and organize the information they hear by prioritizing their thoughts, plan their responses, and finally they are able to follow through in performing the work assigned to them. This task for some students may be very difficult to accomplish.

Children that are usually inattentive may be overly impulsive, easily distracted, disorganized, procrastinate, and be forgetful.

When one is paying attention, it increases efficiency by responding quickly to instructions. It also improves sensory discrimination which is a skill that helps remember details. Attention is useful for acquisition of skills, to acquire better coordination, and control. Mostly, attention is helpful for remembering. The ability or power to concentrate mentally is a fundamental tool to achieve one’s goal. If you are lacking that tool, do not worry. We have what you need!

At H.O.P.E. Centre, we offer the world’s indisputable #1 learning system (invented by a scientist and a teacher) designed to increase the ability of paying attention. It's inspired by NASA science, which uses powerful advancements of neurofeedback technology. Our program allows you to control the computer by mind/attention alone. The process strengthens your mind in order to be in control of it rather than the opposite.

As the student actively engages into the program, the BodyWave armband captures a signal emitted from the brain, monitors this signal through the body and finally transmits it wirelessly to the computer. The interactive exercises challenge students to improve memory, finishing tasks, visual tracking, and filtering out distractions. There's also a section geared towards accomplishing homework efficiently by following through in a specific time frame with full focus and attention.

Gradually, all students including those with ADD/ADHD (as well as those with autism or auditory processing disorder) can retain the skills necessary to be successful in the classroom and home. How is this possible? This is because the training results in a stronger, well-trained brain capable of paying attention all the while improving cognitive function and behaviour.

H.O.P.E. Centre offers brain exercises with a kick! We have the alternative tools to help your child improve. Sign up for our summer programs and workshops and let them prepare for a better future.
