Help with Focus & Attention Issues
Focus and attention issues in both children and adults can arise from a variety of causes, ranging from neurological conditions to environmental and psychological factors. One of the most well-known and commonly diagnosed conditions affecting attention is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects brain activity related to executive functions, such as regulating attention, controlling impulses, and managing time and tasks. However, focus issues can also stem from other sources, including high levels of stress or anxiety, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, or even underlying learning disabilities. In adults, factors like burnout, depression, or multitasking in demanding work environments can further impair concentration.

Why Managing Focus & Attention Issues is Critical
The impact of focus and attention difficulties can be far-reaching. In children, it often leads to academic struggles, difficulty following instructions, and challenges in social settings. They may be labeled as inattentive, disruptive, or lazy, which can take a toll on their self-esteem and emotional well-being. Adults with attention issues may find it difficult to maintain productivity, meet deadlines, or stay organized—leading to stress, strained relationships, and reduced job performance. Over time, chronic attention problems can lead to frustration, anxiety, and even depression, especially when individuals feel they are not meeting their own potential or expectations. Seeking help for focus and attention issues is important because early intervention can greatly improve outcomes.

Effective Solutions for Managing Focus & Attention Issues
We utilize the NeurOptimal Advanced Brain Training System as our main therapy for focus & attention issues. NeurOptimal is a neurofeedback system developed by clinical psychologists and has been in use for more than 25 years. NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is a safe, gentle, non-invasive, drug-free brain training system designed to support better focus and attention in both children and adults. Unlike traditional neurofeedback, which targets specific brainwave patterns, NeurOptimal® operates as a dynamical neurofeedback system. This means it does not “push” the brain toward any pre-set standard. Instead, it provides real-time feedback to the brain about its own activity, allowing the central nervous system to recognize inefficiencies and reorganize itself naturally. This process promotes flexibility, resilience, and improved mental clarity—key components in addressing focus and attention challenges.
For individuals experiencing attention-related difficulties, including those with ADHD, NeurOptimal® can be especially helpful. ADHD is commonly associated with distractibility, impulsivity, and difficulty sustaining attention. Rather than attempting to correct these symptoms through external intervention, NeurOptimal® helps the brain become more aware of its moment-to-moment patterns. As the brain trains itself to return to the present and operate more efficiently, users often report greater ease in staying on task, completing assignments, and managing distractions—without the need for medication or conscious effort during sessions.
NeurOptimal® is particularly well-suited for children due to its gentle, passive nature. There are no complex instructions to follow, and the process simply involves sitting comfortably while watching a screen or listening to music. Adults, too, appreciate the calming and non-directive experience. Over time, users of all ages may experience improved concentration, emotional regulation, and overall cognitive performance. Many also notice positive changes in related areas such as sleep quality, stress levels, and mood—all of which can contribute to better focus. While every brain is unique, NeurOptimal® offers a holistic and empowering way to support optimal brain function and mental well-being.
Neurofeedback has been proven effective in helping to relieve the symptoms of ADHD (ADD) in both children and adults. In 2012 the American Academy of Pediatrics listed neurofeedback as a Level 1 or "Best Support" treatment for ADHD. The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 66,000 pediatricians in the U.S.

Testimonials
"My son was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD - inattentive at P2. He had been having trouble focusing in school and was doing things like handing up incomplete school work to the teacher.​ On the home front, he would come home forgetting to record down his daily homework or leaving his textbooks behind. He would take hours to do his homework, learn his Chinese tingxie and English spelling. Things that he was taught before, he would forget one week later and it was a tiring and frustrating process for him to have to relearn everything again.
​​
Our educational pyschologist referred us to Mr. Lee and that is when I found out about NeurOptimal. After my phone conversation with Mr. Lee, I did extensive research about neurofeedback on the internet and watched other people's testimonies on youtube. I was convinced that NeurOptimal would be a better solution than dispensing medication to help my son focus better.
​
We did a total of 10 sessions and I was pleasantly surprised by my son's changed behaviour. He came home with less homework, that means he was completing his daily work in school. He is now alot faster in learning his spelling and tingxie. He came home with full marks for spelling and 93% for his math test, which had not occured before. His teachers also noticed he had less mistakes in his daily work and was more focus in class. These improvements has made going to school more enjoyable for my son and has given me overall a more confident child."

"Each child has different learning and growing pace. My son obviously needs help in his spelling and controlling his emotions as he felt the anxiety for not able to remember spelling words. I decided to try out brain training with Clarity & Focus after seeing positive testimonies of similar children going through such challenges. I’m glad we try this gentle method to retrain his brain to better control emotions and everything else falls into its place.
​
My son had completed 10 sessions and is still continuing as he is doing better in his school work now and emotionally more stable. 3 of my close friends were surprised of my son’s good development and today his teacher told us his attitude is excellent and can complete his school work within given time."
From Mrs Yap, a mum who believes that every child is unique and never gives up hope to find the suitable method to help the child to grow up in own pace, Singapore
