PC Software instruction is designed to teach parents a software program that can be used during homework time to produce a cumulative review system that helps students study material independently. If a review system is not produced, parents may feel as though they are constantly reteaching or reviewing; with the use of the computer program, the instruction is intensified and the flashcard review system on the computer allows the child to review the material without assistance as often as needed to support retention. The program organizes the material into two-column and flashcard formats using specific procedures that have been shown to improve learning. The program guides parents to make the selection of critical information easier, support focus of attention and include retrieval practice to prepare for tests. The fee for the Independent Strategies for Efficient PC software training is $200.

Self-monitoring of Attention is a program designed to increase on-task behavior during homework time and is implemented at home. The goals are improvement in the child’s ability to stay focused when doing independent academic work and a reduction in the amount of time spent completing homework assignments.
