Improvement of the lack of concentration
To improve an existing concentration disorder, concentration games are particularly advisable. For this purpose, we have developed a game in cooperation with a game manufacturer, which can playfully promote concentration. Through the combination of concentration and games, different goals can be reached very well. We place particular emphasis on the high quality and workmanship of this game.

The Marburg concentration training
In psychological practice, the Marburg Concentration Training for Schoolchildren (MKT), among others, has proven to be useful. It is particularly suitable for children whose attention is repeatedly diverted away from the object of work as a result of increased distractibility, whether due to impulsiveness or a slower working posture. It is therefore particularly suitable for children with ADS – also with hyperactivity.
The Marburg Concentration Training for school children is based on the so-called verbal self-instruction, which means that the training does not only test the ability to concentrate, but that the concentration training and its exercises can be used to promote perception, memory, logical thinking and accuracy by teaching the child to give himself instructions on how to solve the task. This verbal self-instruction is especially a procedure that is often used in the context of ADHD and ADHD therapy. The Marburg concentration training is available in two different variations: It is particularly suitable for children with attention deficits, who cannot concentrate in a targeted manner and have a slowed-down way of working. The concept is based on verbal self-instruction (see occupational therapy), which means that during the training not only the ability to concentrate is trained and challenged, but that the child learns, especially through the verbal self-instructions, to promote perception, retentiveness, logical thinking and accuracy and to keep solution mechanisms in mind independently.
