Visual Attention Therapy Lite 2.05

Visual Attention Therapy is a valuable tool for individuals recovering from brain injuries, strokes, or struggling with attention deficits. It is also beneficial for rehabilitation professionals in assessing neglect and providing effective therapy.

The Lite version of Visual Attention Therapy allows users to experience the customization and utility of the full app for free. Although it only offers one level and layout in Test and Practice modes, it remains fully functional. Users can try different targets, signal and target colors and styles, and generate e-mail reports.

By practicing scanning from left to right across a page, individuals can retrain their brain to improve eye movement. This essential skill enhances reading, concentration, memory, attention to detail, and processing speed. Utilizing two targets simultaneously can assist users with working memory and alternating attention.

1. The Test mode helps identify any scanning or attention deficits.
2. The Practice mode trains users to scan for targets in a specific order.

Cancellation Tasks Improved

This professional cognitive training app enhances traditional cancellation exercises, which are the standard for assessing and treating visuospatial neglect. It offers benefits that are exclusive to technology:

• In Practice mode, targets must be tapped from left to right, top to bottom. This encourages users to slow down and scan the entire screen before proceeding.
• The sidebar signal can flash in various colors to draw attention either to the left or right.
• Auditory and visual cues provide instant feedback and maintain user engagement.
• Timed exercises increase motivation to work quickly and accurately.
• No need for error counting as automated scoring includes accuracy data by quadrant, completion time, and mistakes in professional e-mailed reports.
• Customizable layouts and 10 levels of difficulty cater to changing needs or multiple users.
• An extensive range of combinations eliminates the need for photocopying exercises and saves paper.

Visual Attention Therapy was developed by a certified Speech-Language Pathologist and is used globally by professionals such as SLPs, occupational therapists, vision specialists, and neuropsychologists to assist individuals with dyslexia, dementia, and attentional deficits.

This app appeals to users of all ages who enjoy challenging themselves to improve their scores while enhancing cognitive and reading skills. Letter-based levels support literacy objectives, while symbol-based levels develop visual memory skills.
