Clients find it fun to practice and easier to maintain focus with fifty activities that build attention skills using a deck of playing cards.

The convenient pocket-size book has forty activities to train these types of attention:

• Sustained Attention working on a particular task over an extended period of time
• Selective Attention responding to a stimulus in the presence of competing stimuli
• Alternating Attention shifting attention appropriately from one area to another
• Divided Attention performing more than one activity at once or process multiple stimuli at once

The activities gradually increase in difficulty beginning with the completion of one-step, repetitive tasks (Sustained Attention) and progressing to tasks that require the processing of multiple details simultaneously (Divided Attention). The challenge, pace, and familiarity of the cards is a natural motivator for clients.
