Focus GPS Lite "iPhone edition"

Focus GPS™ helps students and adults with Learning Differences (such as ADHD or dyslexia) strengthen
their short-term random-memory recall by utilizing a new Memory Coach feature which is included in
File Management. Taking advantage of this gain in random-memory recall, Focus GPS helps students
organize their “Things to Do” in a very unique, effective and easy-to-use way (patent pending). Focus GPS
supports the critical executive function areas of 1) memory, 2) concentration, and 3) organization. It can
help students to logically step through complex thought and scheduling processes, allowing them to deal
with changing scheduling changes and priorities.
Focus GPS includes two other uniquely effective features in its design called 1) What’s Up?, and 2) What’s
Done. The What’s Up? feature enables users to organize their daily schedules based on priority. Schedules
can easily be re-organized as needed throughout the day. When students feel challenged by their schedules,
they can transmit their current What’s Up? Scheduling screen wirelessly at the touch of a button to a parent
or one or more of their pre-selected mentors for guidance and encouragement. Mentors can include a peer
mentor (an older student experienced in ADHD issues), parents, tutors, best friends, sports or life coaches,
therapists, or some combination of these who have an interest in the success of the student. This focused
and timely support can be a key factor in helping students learn to modify their behavior in a way which
suits their objectives.
The What’s Done feature displays tasks completed by the student in a given time period in a bright green
color and can be transmitted wirelessly at the touch of a button to one or more of the student’s pre-selected
mentors. Transmitting this information (normally once a day) permits the student’s mentor(s) to observe
and acknowledge the progress made by the student and to offer encouragement. Acknowledgment based on
real achievement can be a key factor in helping students learn to modify their behaviour and improve their
self-image in a way which suits their wants and objectives.
What’s Up? and What’s Done? help students with learning disabilities and ADHD deal with two common
problems, forgetfulness and procrastination. With reference to forgetfulness, many parents are justifiably
concerned that during the course of a school day their student might forget to complete or work on the most

important tasks on his or her daily schedule of things to do. The What’s Up? screen reminds students at a
glance what needs to be done that day and in what order and can also keep parents updated and informed in
this area.
Procrastination is a strong challenge to many students with Learning Differences and ADHD. Parents,
tutors, and others are powerless to help the student overcome procrastination unless they are aware of
the student’s upcoming projects and responsibilities. This information can be easily provided to mentors
by the student once the student experiences the benefits of keeping mentors informed. The attention
and acknowledgment from mentors which can be generated through What’s Up? and What’s Done?
can powerfully motivate students to do the work needed, earn praise, and feel successful. Positive
accountability can powerfully help students overcome procrastination and do better in school.
