PSY 375 Project One Template [For this project, you will create a cognition clinic brochure for prospective clients and their families that describes the services your clinic offers to help enhance memory or attention, along with summaries of current research in the field to help educate potential clients on the value of those services. As you create your brochure, consider your audience. Write using nonscientific terms, be clear and concise, and include content based on researched best practices. Include in- text citations and a References section but write in your own words and do not use direct quotations. In your Project One milestone, which was due in Module Four, you selected the target population for your clinic and its focus on either short-term/working memory, long-term memory, or attention. You also identified primary sources to help you complete this project. Be sure to incorporate any instructor feedback on the analysis of your sources before beginning work on your project. Based on the research in your milestone, pick two strategies that you would use to help enhance cognition in your chosen population. Complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. You must address each of the rubric criteria listed below in about 500 to 750 words total. Delete the numbers when you are done so your finished product will resemble a brochure. Also remove this note before you submit your brochure.] [ FOCUS BOOST ] 1. [In my Attention clinic’s program, we will be focusing on the needs and methods for children who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder most commonly referred to as ADHD. The goal is to work with children, parents/guardians, peers, and schoolteachers to further their knowledge, and create tools that effectively aid those who struggle with ADHD to be able to overcome the many challenges they may face on the day-to-day basis with such disorder. When joining this clinic, we provide resources that help both you and the individual live a successful and cope free life.]

2. [The target demographic population is school aged individuals who suffer from various levels of ADHD. Include details of the cognitive processes that might be interrupted and how interventions can help the population’s quality of life. When suffering from ADHD children tend to zone off in thought(inattentiveness), constantly fidget (hyperactivity), grow impatience, act without thinking (impulse challenges), and have other behavioral setbacks. Symptoms in children tend to be well noticeable by the age of 6 and occur in more than one setting (National Health Service, 2021.)] 3. [According to current research “Pay Attention!” has proven to pose the advantages within the clinic resources. In some cases, children may not only have ADHD but other diagnosis such as, anxiety disorder, (ODD) oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, depression, (ASD) autistic spectrum disorder, dyspraxia, epilepsy, and Tourette’s syndrome (National Health Service, 2021.) The following four intervention trainings of sustained, selective, alternating, and divided attention are seen as methods to use within the clinic for ADHD diagnosed children. Results reflect those individuals who then received such interventions later had both attention and executive functioning gains ( Tamm, L., Hughes, C., Ames, L., Pickering, J., Silver, C. H., Stavinoha, P., Castillo, C. L., Rintelmann, J., Moore, J., Foxwell, A., Bolanos, S. G., Hines, T., Nakonezny, P. A., & Emslie, G, 2009.)] 4. [The first evidence-based cognitive intervention is attention training conducted by Pay Attention! The overall method focuses on recruiting 29 total participants where only 23 officially meet study criteria in which they must complete 16 sessions with two intervention meetings to discuss results. An estimated full-scale IQ score was predicted that if it was greater than or equal to 85, then participants met diagnostic criteria for ADHD ( Tamm, L., Hughes, C., Ames, L., Pickering, J., Silver, C. H., Stavinoha, P., Castillo, C. L., Rintelmann, J., Moore, J., Foxwell, A., Bolanos, S. G., Hines, T., Nakonezny, P. A., & Emslie, G, 2009.) Despite what clinical intervention “Pay Attention” wanted to trial, they still set a limitation on only receiving a set number on school-aged children to observe making results accurate but only for a set number. Therefore, results are relevant to the target population but to a set standard until these studies are outsourced for a higher number of participants or as an open study that can demonstrate the programs versatility in how to work within cognitive treatment ADHD children.] 5. [The second evidence-based cognitive intervention is behavior management for school- aged children who have been diagnosed with ADHD. It reflects on the effectiveness behind this method of intervention that should be implemented within different setting exposures (Pfiffner, L.J., & Haack, L.M, 2014). School-aged children with diagnosis exhibit a range of inattentive, hyperactivity, and impulsivity symptoms that can then translate into more serious academic, social, and interpersonal impairments thus the need for behavior correction(s). When learning methods to cope and successfully gain power over such disorders one will be able to act appropriately and set positive behavior patterns. This can correlate with the target population because the sooner intervention is made in one’s earlier age years the more effective the overall treatment can be vs creating
