A systematic training method for use with the ADD child. The method begins with the instructor explaining the meaning of focusing one's attention to the child. The child is required to remain immobile for a suitable period. Next, the child is conditioned to maintain eye contact with the instructor for a sustained period. Once these objectives have been met, a series of tasks are given to the child focusing on the child's ability to: (1) follow oral commands to carry out physical actions; (2) recall an oral series of 3 or 4 numbers, letters, or words; (3) recall an oral series of 4 or 5 numbers, letters, or words; (4) recall a written series of 3 or 4 numbers, letters, or words; (5) recall a written series of 4 or 5 numbers, letters, or words; and (6) recall a written series of 5 numbers, letters, or symbols using color variations for each. Using these memory exercises as an evaluation tool, a step-wise methodology is employed to train the child to focus his or her attention. The inventors have assumed that different concentration techniques must be employed to (1) follow oral commands to perform physical acts; (2) recall and recite oral information; and (3) recall and recreate written information. The ability to perform well in each of these categories is essential to the child's success in school and ultimately to the child's success in life. Thus, these three processes are employed in the method disclosed.
