The Attention Process Training Programs (APT) by Sohlberg and Mateer are based on extensive research that is widely published in the cognitive rehabilitation and the disability literature. These therapeutic treatment programs are designed for adolescents, adults and veterans with mild, moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), post concussion syndrome and other neurological disorders.
The Pay Attention Program by Thomson and Kerns is based on the APT program and has been modified for children ages 4-11 with traumatic brain injury or ADHD.
The APT-3 includes an extensive range of attention exercises appropriate for people with mild to severe attention deficits due to acquired brain injuries. Target populations include adolescents, adults and veterans. Unlike the APT-1 and APT-2 programs, the APT-3 is a computer based program promoting efficient data collection and analyses and treatment planning. The Kit includes a USB drive with customized software that can be used on either a mac or PC. It includes 2 practice drives for clients. The program runs from the USB drive and does not stay on the user's computer. The set of 2 manuals contains a clinical overview, research evidence, discussion of therapy principles, detailed instructions and guidelines for assessment and treatment, as well as sample scoresheets for all therapeutic activities and tasks.
