Attention & Concentration Course
Onward Health's Attention & Focus Course is a structured, 6-week program supporting adults to rebuild concentration, reduce distractibility, and manage mental fatigue following neurological injury or illness.
Reduced attention is one of the most common and most disruptive cognitive changes after brain injury or stroke. It can affect conversations, work tasks, reading and safety around the home. This course targets attention specifically, using a structured weekly format so progress is measurable and strategies are applied directly to real daily tasks.

What This Course Addresses
Assessment & Intervention Approach
The course runs over six sessions (45–60 minutes), delivered in person or via telehealth.
Session 1 — Assessment and goal setting. We measure baseline attention and functional performance and set one to three goals tied to real tasks that matter to you.
Session 2 — Sustained attention strategies, including task pacing and environmental adjustment.
Session 3 — Selective attention strategies for managing distraction and structuring your workspace.
Session 4 — Divided and alternating attention strategies for multitasking and task-switching.
Session 5 — Real-world application, practising strategies in your own home, workplace, or community setting.
Session 6 — Review and maintenance planning, with outcome re-assessment and a written strategy summary to keep.
