Davis® Mastery for Attention provides a drug-free path forward for ADD/ADHD. The program is done as 3-hour sessions each day, over 10 days* — a fixed schedule, one-on-one with me as your facilitator. This program is for children (approximately age 8 and up), teens, and adults.
Individuals with ADD or ADHD tend to be highly imaginative, creative thinkers who often struggle to harness their ideas and translate thought into action — they know what they want to accomplish, but struggle to complete tasks and stay organized.
Lack of focus — what we call disorientation — is the core issue behind ADD and ADHD, because it undermines conceptual understanding. Read the full explanation of disorientation on the Dyslexia program page → Once a student learns to recognize and control it, focusing becomes quick and easy rather than a constant struggle.
The program uses concept mastery — guided modeling of concepts in clay — to build real insight into the self-created barriers behind inattention, exploring ideas like consequence, order, and responsibility.
Skills You’ll Gain
- The ability to create and monitor a focused state at will
- Self-regulation of energy levels to match the task at hand
- Improved balance and coordination
- Understanding of your own learning style, and recognition of its gifts
- Increased self-esteem
- Mastery and internalization of concepts directly related to focus, staying on task, organization, and social interactions
- Understanding of basic concepts: self, change, consequence, cause and effect, before/after, time, sequence, and order vs. disorder
- The ability to apply these concepts to real-life situations
What a Session Looks Like
- Reviewing the previous session’s work
- Checking in and settling into a grounded, task-oriented state, using the self-regulation tools you’ve learned
- Koosh ball exercises while balancing
- Clay concept work — exploring concepts in the real world, and creating clay models that capture the meaning of a word and how it applies to daily life
- A short break partway through the session
- Additional activities woven in as needed: puzzles, creating order in a space, or reviewing a sequence of events to see where a different choice could have been made
What’s Included
You’ll receive an Attention Mastery kit with everything needed for the program: a student manual and two Koosh balls.
Support That Continues After the Program
Everyone supporting you or your child gets trained in the same tools and techniques, so progress continues at home. You’ll also have up to 6 hours of follow-up support built in, along with ongoing phone and email support as questions come up.

*One part of this program involves creating order in a space of the child’s own — an activity that works best with parent participation at home. If a parent isn’t able to be involved in that piece, an extra day or two is sometimes added so we can do that work together in session instead.
