Total Focus: a Program to Help Parents and Teachers Work with Students with ADHD

Dr. Robert Myers is a Child Psychologist with 25 years of experience working with students who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). He has taken his years of experiences and therapeutic strategies and packaged them for parents and teachers in the Total Focus program.

What is Total Focus?

Total Focus is a program that is designed to educate parents and professionals on the symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, and provide them with tools to work with these children and help to improve their symptoms. The program consists of audio CDs, a workbook and all of the required checklists and charts.

What Does Total Focus Cover?

The Total Focus program begins in chapter one with easy tools that the parent or professional can use right away. The remaining chapters cover behavior plans, the use of biofeedback, ways to apply the program in the home, techniques to improve self-control and ways to improve attention and concentration.

Does Total Focus Work?

Total Focus will provide any parent or professional the tools that special educators use every day. The strategies are taught in a simple, straight-forward manner that is easy for both parents and teachers to understand and are successful with managing children with ADHD. The program is designed to be effective with both audio and visual learners and many families have found the program to be hugely successful in their homes.

One additional benefit of the Total Focus program is that it focuses on the family. Improving the parent-child relationship as well as the relationships that the child has with other siblings will prove to be a huge benefit of using the program at home, especially since ADHD has the tendency to strain relationships.

The only down-side to this program is the fact that through its focused approach, parents may be lead to believe that if they only try hard enough or if the child only wants to bad enough, behaviors will change. While this program can indeed improve child behavior, ADHD is not something that can be cured. While this program can be a huge help to a lot of students, those who use it will only become frustrated if they believe that it will make every ADHD symptom go away.

Conclusion about Total Focus

Total Focus is an excellent program that provides useful tools for anyone who works with a child who has ADHD. The strategies in this program will give any parent or professional the confidence and skills to truly help children focus, stay in control of their emotions and pay greater attention to the task at hand.
