WebCAER for Adults
The post Spokane ADHD Treatment Follow-Program * combines two computer technologies to help your family and child continue to grow after you return from Spokane. The first is a secure Accountability website that makes it easier for teachers and parents to communicate about the child's school behavior, academic performance and homework. This allows you to create a much more efficient motivational system to help your child efficiently focus on improving school behavior and academic work, as well as homework. The second is a program, called WebCAER, that you will run on your PC. It provides a simulation of the full CAER machine you experienced in Spokane. In addition to similar moving sounds and lights, WebCAER also allows you to place emotionally provocative images between the moving lights and concurrently play emotionally provocative soundtracks. This allows you to extinguish the conditioned emotional responses from these cues so that the do not interfere with learning.
Homework Messenger
Web Site
In order to help your child at school you need clear, timely, complete information on their problems and strengths. This can be a critical problems for parents because traditional techniques of phone calls, e-mails or the child carrying a note back and forth are usually unreliable, incomplete and take too much work to last for long.
The Homework Messenger provides a more efficient and effective way for parents and teachers to communicate. The teacher can log on to the child’s file and quickly enter a numeric rating of the child’s academic and behavioral performance, as well as specific notes on the child's performance, and homework assignments given and returned. The parent can log in to the child’s account to retrieve this information. They can also pass information back to the teacher about completion of homework, behavior management plans, etc.. I, as the doctor supervising this interaction, can log on to make suggestions about how parents and teachers can work together more efficiently.
This process provides up to date performance information to guide a motivational system and to keep tutoring relevant and connected to the school.
The Homework Messenger website provides the information necessary for a motivational structure to encourage the development of new skills. But, the intent is not to trap the child between strong contingencies and performance anxiety. To avoid this, WebCAER is used extinguish their learning anxiety. This allows much ,milder contingencies to motivate behavior. Extinguishing learning phobias also facilitates demonstration of their skills in the classroom that once caused them to be considered learning disabled or ADHD.
