The APT-2 clinical program is for treating impairments in attentional processing in persons with relatively mild cognitive disturbance, such as post-concussion syndrome.
Activities address difficulties with sustained attention, slowed speed of information processing, distractability, shifting attention between multiple tasks, and paying attention to more than one source of information at a time.
What is APT-2 ?
- A library of auditory attention files on USB drive and hierarchically organized attention exercises grouped according to specific types of attention disorders
