Chair of UC-Berkeley Psychology Department Endorses Legacy Parenting's 'Total Focus Program' for Behavior Management of Children with ADHD
Noted psychologist, Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, Chair of the UC-Berkeley Psychology Department, officially endorses the Total Focus Program for children with ADHD, a comprehensive child behavior program developed by Dr. Robert Myers and distributed by the Legacy Parenting Company.
Westbrook, ME (PRWEB) July 13, 2007 -- Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, Chair of the UC-Berkeley Psychology Department, joined a growing list of supporters in the mental health community by officially endorsing the Total Focus Program for children with ADHD. Legacy Parenting Company's Total Focus Program is a comprehensive child behavior program developed by Dr. Robert Myers for improving attention, concentration and self-control in children with attention and hyperactivity issues.
"I am most impressed with this program," said Dr. Hinshaw. "It incorporates a wealth of extremely helpful information and programming derived largely from evidence-based practice presented in a straightforward, user-friendly format for the families of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder."
The Total Focus Program promotes a multimodal approach for the treatment of children with ADHD. That is, it utilizes cognitive rehabilitation methods and cognitive-behavioral therapy that may be combined with ADD and ADHD medication. "Through various methods, including relaxation training, social skills training, and behaviorally-oriented parent management training, Total Focus encourages better behavior and social skills for children that have ADHD," said Dr. Hinshaw. "These evidence-based strategies, particularly in combination with medication, have been shown in scientific literature to enhance overall functioning for the child with ADHD."
Dr. Myers' own son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of six. "As a clinical psychologist, I've spent my life working with children with ADHD," he said. "I believe that positive reinforcement is the key to improving behavior and performance in a child with attention and hyperactivity problems."
Dr. Hinshaw added, "I believe that the Total Focus Program is extremely worthwhile, feeding as it does off recent data that documents the superiority of multimodal treatment for children and families with ADHD and issued at a time when professional organizations are issuing practical guidelines emphasizing the need for multimodal intervention."
The Total Focus Program is available through Legacy Parenting Company, at www.TryTotalFocus.com.
