When Knowing Isn't the Problem
Many children know what they're supposed to do.
The challenge is doing it consistently.
Play Attention is a cognitive training program designed to help develop the executive function skills behind attention, organization, self-regulation, and follow-through.
The Gap Parents See Every Day
One day a child completes an assignment independently.
The next day they can't get started.
One moment they're focused and engaged.
The next they're distracted, overwhelmed, or impulsive.
These inconsistencies are often related to executive function—the skills that help children plan, organize, sustain attention, manage distractions, and follow through.
What Is Play Attention?
Play Attention is a computer-based cognitive training program that uses real-time feedback to help children develop attention and executive function skills.
Because children can see when they are focused and when they are not, the learning becomes active rather
than passive.
Why Real-Time Feedback Matters
Most children are told to:
Pay attention
Stay focused
Get organized
Finish what they start
But many have never been taught how.
Play Attention provides immediate feedback that helps children recognize and practice focused attention in the moment.
The goal is for those skills to transfer beyond training sessions and into school, home, and daily life.
Beyond Attention
Play Attention helps children develop the executive function skills that support success at school, at home, and in everyday life.
These skills include:
Sustained attention
Working memory
Organization
Task initiation
Task completion
Impulse control
Self-regulation
Executive function influences a child's ability to focus, manage distractions, stay organized, regulate behavior, and follow through on tasks consistently.
Research-Based Cognitive Training
Play Attention has been studied in school and clinical settings, including research funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
Published studies have demonstrated improvements in attention and ADHD-related symptoms, with benefits that persisted after training was completed.
Research findings suggest that neurofeedback-based attention training may provide meaningful support for some children with ADHD when incorporated into a comprehensive treatment approach.
