Can be Used With or Without MedicationTotal Focus is a multi-media program that provides what health professionals refer to as Evidence-based Treatment (based on scientific research). Both the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) professional guidelines for best practice treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder state that medication should be used in conjunction with psychological interventions for best over-all results. According to a study conducted at State University of New York at Buffalo, "combining behavior modification therapy with medication is the most effective way to improve the behavior of many ADHD children. In fact, when the two are combined, the study showed, the amount of medication required to achieve the same results as use of medication alone can be reduced by two-thirds". The guidelines also state that for children with mild to moderate ADHD symptoms, it may be advisable to try psychological interventions first before adding medication.

The format allows busy moms & dads to receive parent education by listening to CDs on the way to work. The activities for the kids are fun and can be fit into their free time.
“In first grade, my daughter was having problems
in school following the teacher, paying attention
and sitting still. I was getting complaints from the
teacher about these issues. She was diagnosed with
mild ADD. That's when I began to use Dr. Myers'
program, Total Focus. When her teacher used the
program with her, it worked wonders. There was a big
change in her behavior. I didn't get the complaints
from the teacher anymore. I also used it when she
was in second grade. You could see a real difference
in her report card. She went from having bad
behavior to superior behavior.” * “My son is more focused this year. He's
gone from almost failing to an A/B student. He's doing his homework. I don't
have to bug him five times. He's doing it and turning it in. When he was in 5th
grade, he was on the president's honor roll. Then he slipped. Since The Total
Focus, he's back up there. And that's a big change from where he was.” * *Results may vary |
