28 Training of Executive Attention (TEA) is designed to teach participants strategies they can use in their daily lives to improve their ability to achieve goals by sustaining their attention and staying focused, formulating realistic plans, and organizing, prioritizing, and completing tasks in a timely fashion. The program is a group intervention consisting of 11 sessions at Baycrest. The program sessions focus on: (a) attention training; (b) evidence-based techniques that help participants achieve their goals by staying organized and completing tasks; and (c) meeting participants' personal goals. Homework tasks and activities promote the development of attention-focusing skills and the transfer of goal achievement techniques to everyday life. Eligibility: The TEA program is designed for older adults who have been identified as having difficulties with executive functioning, including those with stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, anoxia, and mood disorders. A referral from a physician, psychologist or rehabilitation therapist is required and can be sent by fax to 416-785-4235. Fee: There is a charge of $50 to cover the cost of a workbook and other materials that are used for in-between session assignments.
