Publication Date: Spring 2002
Article reviews Play Attention, which is a educational software program that features games designed to teach a number of skills, including focus, visual tracking, time on task, short-term memory sequencing, and discriminatory processing. The Play Attention system utilizes a technique the author refers to as “Edufeedback,” which is the integration of feedback technology with educational and behavioral modification techniques. The software package comes with a 20-minute training video and an instruction booklet that contains resources materials such as parental permission forms, progress charts, and rating scales for both parents and teachers. The author found that Play Attention is a unique, well-researched system for students with attention difficulties that provides much-needed support for educators and parents.
