What are the benefits for educational establishments using your product/s 

Attention is key to the way that we, as humans, perceive and process information, and thereby directly impacting learning and communication. Attention difficulties can inhibit the development of those skills and can pose a risk not just to a child’s academic success, but long-term mental wellbeing. Studies show that early childhood attention is a strong predictor of the likelihood of finishing school, college and employability, whilst impaired attention increases the likelihood of delinquent behaviours, substance abuse and diagnosis of depression and anxiety. The more we understand about the importance of attention, the more important it is for stakeholders to have the information about a child’s attention capabilities and ensure they have the best possible chances at success.
