Children with attention problems can experience a variety of issues such as trouble focussing, problem-solving and managing information, as well as difficulty sitting still, waiting their turn and acting without thinking.
Attention skills are important to assess because attention problems might be symptomatic of more complex presentations such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) or even anxiety and depression.
Attention issues are also often experienced by children with an Intellectual Disability (ID), along with other physical and neurodevelopmental disorders.
How can TALi DETECT help?
A critical factor for academic performance and school readiness, attention is a foundational cognitive skill that develops during early childhood.
TALi DETECT assesses these three key areas of attention using seven fun and engaging activities that a child plays on a tablet device (iPad/Android devices).
After a child completes the assessment, which takes approximately 30 minutes, TALi DETECT produces a detailed cognitive report outlining performance-based results alongside behavioural data.

Assessment Reporting
After completing TALi DETECT, your school will receive a detailed report and assessment for each student. This report outlines child performance in each of the seven exercises of TALi DETECT.*
*Based on neurotypical children assessed in clinical trial, removing effect of gender and age.
As part of the report, each child will receive their own unique attention profile. Here, child performance for each key attention skill is plotted against what is considered to be the average result for a child of their age and gender.
*Based on neurotypical children assessed in clinical trial, removing effect of gender and age.
