Abstract: 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.
