During your school career you’re likely to have observed one or more of your students showing difficulties with attention and activity. Or maybe one of your students recently scored high on the Attention/Activity domain in My Mind Check.
My Mind Check cannot give a diagnosis relating to your student’s attention. This is best assessed by a health professional. However, My Mind Check can tell us if your student expressed concerns about their concentration when they did the check-in. Attention relates to how students focus on day-to-day tasks and how they:
- concentrate on a task without being distracted by their environment
- switch attention between different tasks or components of the same task
- maintain their concentration for sustained periods at school and home.
