Keeping our attention on inattention

Attention and concentration impact every action and activity we do. From learning within class, to getting a job done at work, to following instructions, to making a cake or playing a game - any time we want to get something done we rely on our attention skills. Difficulties with attention can look like trouble sustaining focus, challenges tuning out distractions, problems tuning in/noticing important input, and struggles staying on track. We hear from many teachers and parents about the disruptive effects of the inattention and how this is on the rise in the classroom and home.

​

We as therapists also see how poor attention negatively impacts daily living, learning, social connection and overall wellbeing.​ We know that children who grow their attention skill have a greater ability to learn*, play, develop friendships, and much more. At Skye Therapy, we are passionate about helping kids thrive in life, learning and leisure by developing their attention skills.

*Evidence shows that strong attention skills are a key predictor of academic success and contribute to social-emotional competence.
