Heads Up Now! learning aids provides a LARGE selection of aids to students of all abilities. There inventory is specifically directed towards students who have challenges from distraction to sensory to auditory.

I have been using the Heads Up! Frames and the Readers.

I had the opportunity many moons ago to learn about the Irlen Method and Scotopic research - using colors to redirect students and help them stay focused. I will be honest and say that the office space I shared with the tester/director was often tense because I felt what she did was bunk. Students would come in, take a test, leave and two weeks later return to pick up a pair of literally rose-colored glasses. Or blue-sky colored glasses. Or green-egg colored glasses. I didn't really know what to make of that.

Well, guess what? That little kid I had with me in my office became one of those easily distracted kids! We've done it all...put him at a table and desk by himself...allowed him to complete lessons on his bed...set up a "science project board" in front of him...he was only isolated from the pack and he simply did not like it.

Well, into my life come the Heads Up! family of thin colored plastic "rulers." And the kid uses them AT the table with the rest of us. And he is much more easily and effieciently focused. And the price is so good you'll want to stock up in case you're like me and you have an industrious four year old who enjoyed trimming the edges... At only $1.00 a piece (except for the full page which is $5.00), they are one of the most useful and cost-effective  tools ANY learner can have in his toolkit. Shipping is VERY reasonable to it is worth stocking up.

I had only one child who did not care for them. And she is just highly focused as it is and she was actually distracted by manipulating an additional something.

So... check them out... http://www.headsupnow.com/index.php . You will not be disappointed. It may just help your child, like mine, over the hump. For only $1... (plus about $3 shipping).
