Cedarbrook's Focus for Success program raised handswill help children, adolescents, and adults learn to focus, concentrate, and pay attention.  Focus for Success helps overcome ADHD (attention difficulties or hyperactive behavior) and other attention problems.  The educational component of our program includes neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback).  Neurofeedback has recently been endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics -- we're slightly ahead of the rest, we've been using it for years.


Our system inspired by NASA technology to train astronauts and US Air Force pilots to concentrate under various conditions. A high-tech helmet reads brain signals indicative of focus or concentration. These brain signals control computer games that not only teach students to improve focus, but also to ignore distractions, develop memory skills, finish tasks, and become organized.The psychological component or our program identifies your focus strengths and weaknesses, determines goals, and/or determines the root causes of attention difficulties for the student. Interventions are determined accordingly.

Focus, attention, and concentration are fundamental to any learning situation. So whether you are learning to hit a golf ball consistently or learning math in school--Focus for Success can help.  With improved focus, you will be more succcessful at whatever you do.

Program FAQs

It sounds too good to be true. Is it?

Often when things sound too good to be true--they're too good to be true. However, there are some things that are so basic, so fundamental, so important that they really can help in a lot of different situations. For example, improving your communication skills will help your relationship with
  • your boss
  • your spouse
  • your children
  • and even strangers.

Communication is such a basic skill it can be helpful when applied to many different situations.  It can help everyone with everything -- so to speak.

The same is true with attention and focus. It is such a basic, fundamental, and important skill that improving it will help in many situations.

  • Students can improve performance by increased ability to pay attention.
  • Spouses can improve relationships by better listening to each other.
  • Musicians can improve performance by being totally into the music.
  • Athletes can improve performance by getting "in the zone".
  • Executives can focus and improve functioning and "multitasking".

You say this can help students, athletes, musicians, and executives. How can something help everyone with everything?

Some things are basic, like water. Water cleans you, nourishes your body and brain, and helps all animals and plants grow. Water is basic and fundamental to life as we know it. Focus and attention are also basic and fundamental skills -- learning to focus/pay attention will improve many aspects of your life. Notice we said in each area people will improve their performance. Focus and attention will help you do the best you are able with the skills you have. It will also help you improve your skills because of increased ability to focus on practicing those skills. However, it is not a miracle--to get better skills, you have to practice those skills. And our program will help you focus so that you can do that

Who invented your program?

We developed the program, but not all the tools. The program consists of many activities and we use many tools to help improve focus and attention.

One amazing tool is neurofeedback -- a computerized learning system that uses a high-tech helmet to read brain signals indicative of focus or concentration. These brain signals control computer activities.

One of our feedback systems was inspired by NASA. NASA was using feedback based technology to improve astronaut performance on flight simulator training. This system enhanced NASA's technology for use with students.

How much does the Focus for Success program cost?

The program costs "more than piano lessons, but less than braces". Like piano lessons and braces, Focus for Successcan give life-long benefits. And like piano lessons and braces, it also requires an investment of time and money.

Typically a student will have two 30-45 minutes sessions each week. You may see results in as few as 10 sessions, but for permanent change we recommend 40 - 50 hours.

Individual sessions are $56. The average number of individual sessions is between 11-18. After that, students have group sessions which are $27.

The program is customized for each individual, so prices range, but we can offer financing options.
