There are many factors that can influence your attention, concentration, and academic performance. Our goal is to help you address these factors to optimize your overall functioning and provide you with an informed treatment plan. By making behavioral changes, we can further determine the nature of your difficulties and if additional interventions (e.g., consultation appointment for testing) may be needed. We consider this intervention important for all students seeking treatment for focus problems including those already diagnosed with ADHD and/or taking medication.

Review the F.O.C.U.S (Firstline Optimal Cognitive Utility Strategies) Educational Sessions (approximately 90 minutes).
Complete the F.O.C.U.S quiz soon after reviewing the F.O.C.U.S Educational Sessions to test your knowledge of the material.
Create F.O.C.U.S Goals that you think will help to improve your focus.
Create a weekly planner as described in the F.O.C.U.S Educational Sessions. You can print out the Time Management Worksheet or you can use a digital version such as an app or your phone calendar.
Practice the skills learned in the F.O.C.U.S program. Work on these skills for at least 2 weeks to assess your progress.
Complete the Goal Completion Checklist (after 2 weeks of practicing the skills).
Once you complete the Goal Completion checklist, your results will be reviewed by the UW-Eau Claire Counseling Services.

After your information is reviewed by the counseling staff, you will be notified if an ADHD screening appointment may be considered helpful.

Good luck!
