Solving Attention, Behavior & Learning Problems
for Children, Teens & Adults
__________________________________________________
Does your child or teen struggle with difficulties
sustaining attention, controlling impulses and/or doing well in school?
Are you dissatisfied with the school's efforts to address your child's difficulties and needs?
Are you an adult struggling with inattentiveness and organizational difficulties?
Welcome! My name is Dean Garrison, Attention and Behavior Specialist, Educational Strategist and Advocate, and founder of
the Attention, Behavior & Learning Center.
For over 25 years I have been helping children, adolescents, adults and parents struggling with attentional, behavioral and
learning problems overcome their difficulties and find greater success in all areas of their lives and relationships.
Problems addressed:
ADHD, and other problems with inattentiveness and distractibility
Restless, impulsive & hyperactive behavior
Uncooperative & oppositional behavior
Poor grades; homework & learning problems
Behavior problems at school
Problems with children’s IEP’s and 504 Plans
Parenting difficulties
Services provided:
Assessing individual and family difficulties and needs.
Developing interventions targeting the unique needs of each child, adult and family.
Developing educational programs, IEP's & 504 Plans that effectively address children's learning and behavioral difficulties.
Effectively advocating children's educational rights and needs.
Consulting with physicians, psychiatrists, teachers and other helping professionals to promote the highest quality delivery
and coordination of services.
Providing parents with the strategies needed to meet children's needs, make desired changes, and achieve greater cooperation
and harmony within the home.
Typical outcomes:
Providing children, adults and families with the tools needed to resolve attention, behavior and learning problems and
achieve greater success in their lives.
Achieving significant improvement in learning, grades and homework performance for children and teens.
Improving cooperative and responsible behavior among children and teens.
Consulting with parents and physicians to promote the best medication plans for children and adults, when needed.
Helping parents achieve greater success and satisfaction in their child-rearing efforts.
Increasing self-confidence and self-esteem among children, adults and parents.
With a proper understanding of children's difficulties and needs, and the right types of interventions and support, children
and adults struggling with ADHD and other concerns can overcome many of the difficulties challenging them, enjoy a much higher
level of functioning in all aspects of their lives, and come to realize much more of their true potentials.
Not a tutorial service
The Attention, Behavior & Learning Center is not a tutorial service. Tutoring can be an important support for many students
with learning difficulties. However, tutorial assistance typically does not address one of the chief reasons individuals
with attention deficits have difficulty learning and performing well academically. Subsequently, tutoring may not significantly
improve the learning abilities for students struggling with attention deficits.
The services provided by the Attention, Behavior & Learning Center can reduce or eliminate the need for tutorial assistance
for many students struggling with attentional difficulties. For some of these students, a combination of services that address
attentional difficulties and tutorial services leads to the best outcomes.
A results-oriented approach
For children, teens and families...
I offer a compassionate approach employing proven strategies for
finding effective solutions and achieving desired results. It is typical for many of the children and teens with whom I work
to improve one or more grade levels in most subject areas.
As the result of our efforts, it
is common for students who are achieving “D” grades at the beginning of a term to be working at at least a “B”
grade level by the end of the term, to be completing, keeping track of and turning in all homework assignments (on
time) while at the same time spending less time each evening on homework. In addition, children and teens tend to develop
more positive attitudes about school, learning and, most importantly, themselves.
It is also characteristic of children
and teens to improve their abilities to control their impulses, keep organized, stay on task, make responsible decisions and
manage their moods and emotions.
It is common for the parents and families with whom I work to experience a significant
reduction in stress and parent-child conflict. Parents typically feel more empowered and competent
in their child-rearing efforts as they foster more cooperative behavior from their children and enjoy more positive
relationships with them.

For adults and professionals...
My services for adults and professionals with ADHD typically
lead to a new level of competence and proficiency in keeping organized, staying focused on priorities, managing time effectively,
remembering important things, improving interpersonal relationships, managing impulses and emotions, and other key "executive
function" skills often compromised by ADHD.
Typical outcomes include increased productivity and
greater goal achievement, a greater sense of personal effectiveness and accomplishment, more satisfying personal and professional
relationships, and enhanced self-esteem.
