		<description>Thanks for your input Kyle.  I was not aware of Play Attention for ADHD.  My main purpose with this article was to make readers aware that our (Australian) government is proposing to make medication the first line of treatment for school aged children with ADHD and actively telling parents, carers, teachers, doctors and the legal system that 'alternatives' are ineffective.  My experience with ADHD is that diet and nutrition is a cornerstone of treatment and should be the first line of treatment alongside other learning programs and strategies including Play Attention.</description>

		<description>Non Medical Approach Helps Thousands Battle ADHD
You should consider informing your audience that there are alternatives to battling ADHD, other than medication.  Play Attention is a computer based attention training program that has been helping clients develop attention skills since 1996.  Thousand of people have graduated from the program and have gained success in coping with attention problems.  Below I have included a brief overview of the program. I look forward to hearing from you regarding your level of interest in doing a story. Developer, Peter Freer, is available for an interview if you would like to speak with him.
NASA Breakthrough Teaches ADHD Kids to Focus
Space technology helps struggling children
 
Eight year old Brody Bowen was out of control and diagnosed with ADHD. Teachers sent notes home
saying he was a sweet child, but impulsive and inattentive in class. He beat up his brother and threw
rocks at another child at school. His mother disciplined him constantly.
" wanna be good, Mommy, but I can't" he told his mother.
"You are good, sweetheart" his mother told him blinking back tears.
Brody's mother, Joyce, was desperate. She called his school counselors and pediatrician; she feared
her son might need medicating. Then she discovered Play Attention on the internet. Play Attention
uses special games that don't require a joystick to play. Instead they work off brainpower. Brody can
actually control his video games through a sensor-lined helmet. His mind power controls screen
action!
Play Attention is based on the same technology that NASA uses to train astronauts to increase
attention during flight simulator training to insure peak performance during flight. Play
Attention advanced that technology to build skill sets that are vital to everyday activities like better
attention, improved short-term memory, listening skills, and filtering out distractions.
After working with Play Attention for a few months, Brody began to finish his homework without a
fight; what used to take hours was done in ten minutes! Joyce continued to receive phone calls from
Brody's teachers, but this time they were full of praise rather than concern.
Learn what NASA already knows:
* How can impulsive, uncontrollable kids learn to succeed?
* How can parents teach attention skills?
* How can parents create structured, nurturing environments for ADHD kids?
* What are parenting myths and parenting facts about ADHD?
* How can ADHD kids increase self-esteem and overcome the 'victim' attitude.
Watch Play Attention in action
* B-roll available including autistic children
* Families, including Brody's are available for interviews nationally
* VNR available
ADD Education
Peter Freer, MAEd, founder of Unique Logic &#38; Technology invented Play Attention® after years of
teaching public school children suffering from concentration and behavior problems. His interest
evolved into a personal crusade to learn more about children popularly labeled 'uncontrollable' and
'unteachable' conditions typically associated with children having ADD and ADHD.
After 9 long years of research and development, Peter created Play Attention. Now the world leader in
attention training, Play Attention is used in thousands of homes, schools, psychologists' offices,
hospitals, and learning centers around the world.

		<description>Two words: &lt;a href="http://getup.org" rel="nofollow"&gt;GET UP&lt;/a&gt;

Really, I think many of the members of Get Up would want to know that this is happening and would want to do something about it.

This is horrible! We must stop it.</description>
