Thanks fujiringo, my boy really depends on his mood when doing homework. We have to sit beside him to ensure he focus in his work. Sometimes he will throw tantrums or give excuses. I hope this programme makes him calmer and improve his attention span. Do you also get positive feedback from his teachers after attending the programme?

Hi Double E,

Do they give you feedback after each session on your boy's progress? Have you noticed a huge improvement in his focus and attention after he attended the sessions or his symptoms are quite mild to start with? I read another company called Spectrum Learning also does neurofeedback and I'm deciding between these 2 companies.

My boy's symptoms are mild, so I won't say I see a huge improvement. But I do think it helps. His attention could be worse without this neuro feedback.

Thanks Double E.

Hi fujiringo,

In the first place what prompted you to bring your son to attend GMA? Does he have any issue to address or you just want to make him smarter? My child can’t really focus in school work. Does this help to improve attention span?

Just sharing this for your consideration. Not sure if you all remembered if I also send my son for weekly neuro-feedback. I have to say that it has helped my son to stay more focus and absorb better.

I concluded this because during the two weeks which he missed his neurofeedback sessions, he was less focused and daydreaming more when he had his sessions. At first, we couldn't conclude why the behaviour change. But then, when he resumed his neuro sessions, his ability to focus came back. So we thought it must be the neurofeedback sessions.

If you have concerns about your kids not focusing, you may want to give neurofeedback a try. Once a week, per session is abt 40mins for $60.

Hi Double E,
I chanced upon your post when searching for neurofeedback. Contemplating for my son who can't focus in his work despite attending SLT and OT. Can you tell us the procedures in greater detail? Does the therapist do a brain mapping or hair analysis first to see what programme to administer? Is your son still attending any session now or are the benefits from the initial sessions permanent? Will there be any side effects? Thanks!

I find the teachers responsive when I asked them questions in the e-mail. The form teacher even bothers to call me over the phone to address my concerns. I like it that they have a reading list for students to write down the books they have read and will reward students afterwards. They also incorporate some "surprise" words in their spelling list so they can test whether children can spell using their phonics skills.

My P1 child reaches school at 12.30pm and ends at 6.30pm. I’ve read many parents asking about the school. I was surprised that RVPS has streaming for their Chinese language even at P1. When the P1 children went back to school after the June hols, they were already streamed into Higher, Core or Bridging. I find this is quite early as the children barely started primary school.

Hi! Has anyone engaged Ovspring before? Any feedback on their therapists and service?

Hi! Would like to check with parents of Pri 1 children, is your child’s class still changing their time table? At the beginning of this year, I understand the time table kept changing. But now is already term 3 and my girl says her time table will be changed again (3 times in this term alone). Now I’m not sure what to pack in her bag. Her form teacher says she will e-mail me, but I’ve yet to receive. Any other parent experiencing this?

Hi happystar,

i am a working mum with 2 kids DD1 whom i mention here and another 18 months old DS2 :rahrah:
Usually i will leave work on the dot at 6pm, then reach home slightly before 7pm to have a quick dinner.
then quickly start school home work and revision with my daughter as well as talk to her about her school routine etc.
I try to spend time equally with both kids , hehe so weekdays after walking my daughter to school, it wil be back to bringing my DS2 out for breakfast and playground before heading to office.
Luckily there is a maid and my mum to help out with the household chores and cooking at home.
i usually spend Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning to teach my daughter her school work.
Have to push her a little bit as i know that she will need lotsa hard work and help to compensate her lack of attention in class.

My daughter was on therapy when she was around Mid K1 until end of K2 .
She went to KKH for her therapy ,we will go to st andrew hospital location ( near my house).

Hi chibi, you sound like you're always so energetic, working mum with 2 kids. I also have 2 kids and also trying to spend equal amount of time with both. Actually sounds like your gal is also willing to sit through the tasks with you. And her therapy is also quite short, just about 1.5 yrs. Sometimes I have to entice my son to sit through those homework.
