Attention Disorders are disorders of the central nervous system, which cause difficulties in attention and concentration, learning and memory, as well as hardships in personal and professional relationships.
Attention Disorders are chararcterised by:
- Easily being diverted.
- Impulsivness.
- Difficulty in organisation and planning.
- Fondness for high-risk and high-anxiety level activities.
- Being “disconnected” from the present.
- Low frustration threshold.
- Expressions of boredom.
- Disquiet.
- Difficulty in shifting from one topic to another.
- Memory problems.
- Interpersonal problems.
Many of the individuals who suffer from AD(H)D also suffer from Learning Difficulties. However, an Attention Disorder is not a learning difficulty.
The neurological expressions of an Attention Disorder are low-frequency brainwaves. The brain cannot maintain attention and concentration for long periods of time, when it is unable to synchronise the high-frequency brainwaves necessary for this task. If the brain is not taught to control the various brainwaves, one cannot expect an improvement in attention and concentration.
An individual who functions on low-frequency brainwaves makes a much greater effort in learning. It is several times the effort experienced by an individual who functions on high-frequency brainwaves. This huge effort takes an emotional toll, as well.
The AD(H)D Programme
The AD(H)D Programme includes:
- A series of concentrated and focused motor-sensory exercises, which stimulate high-frequency brainwave activities and allow better focussing and concentration skills.
- ADD-coaching – personal training: Development of life skills, which allow one to deal with difficulties in concentration, impulsiveness and/or hyperactivity. Personal training clarifies personal and professional goals, while developing and applying strategies, which are appropriate to the client’s personality and environment, be it familial, social or professional.
