Product Overview
The APT-3 program is a comprehensive, evidence-based direct attention training program aimed at improving underlying attention deficits secondary to acquired brain injury. It is an updated version of the predecessor programs (APT-1 and APT-2) with attention exercises delivered via computer. The program targets specific domains of attention commonly disrupted after an acquired brain injury including:
- Basic Sustained Attention
- Executive Control: Working Memory
- Executive Control: Selective Attention
- Executive Control: Suppression, and
- Executive Control: Alternating Attention.
A clinician interface allows the clinician to select exercises and associated parameters in order to create individual patient/client exercise profiles that are easily modifiable as the individual progresses.
The APT-3 software facilitates standardized, efficient delivery of the discrete attention tasks and provides self reflection opportunities. Clinicians deliver this therapy in conjunction with strategy training and generalization activities.
