Testing Attention

The T.O.V.A. is a diagnostic test used by many child behavioral practitioners to test variables of attention.  Taken pre- and post treatment, it measures the speed and accuracy of response to a 21 minute computer task.  The task is pretty boring (trust me on this one) and requires a degree of maintained focus and concentration to complete.  For kids with ADHD, it provides insight as to how well a treatment is working to control attentiveness and impulsivity.  A T.O.V.A. score improvement of 0.5 confirms that drug therapy has been effective in the treatment of ADHD.  Pre-and post testing of children in our Whole Child Wellness program has shown T.O.V.A. score improvement at 2.0!  This is irrefutable evidence on the effectiveness of our program, and its ability to improve the function of the ADHD brain.  No medication needed!
