Focus 2 Learn Program

Focus2Learn is specifically tailored to help children with any learning challenges big or small. The activities will organize your child's brain in a way to help them focus longer and process information faster and more efficiently.



Can you imagine improving your ADHD/LD child's focus, attention span, concentration and agility just by exercising 15 - 20 minutes a day? After seeing the Focus2Learn program online, I had my doubts. I contacted the company and requested a sample of their product for review purposes.

After it arrived and I read through the literature, I was still somewhat skeptical. My eleven year old ADHD/LD son and I watched the included "activities DVD." He followed along with the instructor while I watched. I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised. The activities include:
  • Cross crawl marching
  • Ball toss transfer
  • Figure 8 walking
  • Sit up and toss
  • Prone toss
The instructor does an excellent job of describing and illustrating how each of the exercises are to be done. My son liked that there were children on the DVD doing the exercises along with the instructor. He also enjoyed using the included therapy balls, beach ball and agility cones.

I like the fact that the program is versatile. He can choose to do use the program on his own, utilizing a nearby wall to bounce the balls off of. This gives him a feeling of independence and increases his confidence. However, if he chooses, he can have a partner (his dad or I) participate and pass the balls to us.

In the four weeks that my son has used the Focus2Learn Program, I have seen a substantial improvement in his self confidence, agility and concentration. He enjoys preforming the exercises each day. My other son, who does not have ADHD or LD, enjoys the program as well. I am anxious for school to start so my son can put his new found concentration and focus skills to the test.

You can read about the research behind the Focus2Learn Program, see a preview of the activities DVD, as well as their guarantee on the Focus2Learn website. You can also learn how their program is being used in many schools across the nation to improve student's academic performance.

  • Activities DVD led by a certified instructor
  • Four therapy balls
  • One 20" inflatable therapy (beach) ball
  • Two agility sport cones
  • Homework and study resource Guide

The retail price of the program is $99.95. You can purchase the Focus2Learn Program directly from the Focus2Learn website.
