TALi DETECT assesses 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 20 to 30 minutes, TALi DETECT produces a detailed attention profile outlining performance-based results alongside behavioural data.
Clinically relevant data visualisations allow you and your healthcare professional understand your child’s attention strengths and weaknesses, and determine if your child may benefit from early intervention.
Why assess attention?
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 parents?
TALi DETECT is a clinically validated, game-based cognitive assessment of three important attention domains in children 3-7 years of age:
Selective Attention
The ability to select specific information from multiple sensory inputs. This is the most studied attentional network.
Sustained Attention
The ability to increase and maintain vigilance and response-readiness in preparation for a forthcoming stimulus.
Executive Attention
The ability to monitor and resolve conflict between computations in different neural areas, regulate thoughts and feelings, and overcome habitual actions.
Fun, engaging & easy to administer.
The TALi DETECT assessment can be completed in one session of approximately 20 to 30 minutes. A child completes seven fun and engaging game-based exercises, with their performance forming the basis of their attention report.
Unique TALi Attention Profile for every child.
The DETECT report provides a performance-based measure of a child’s skills in the three areas of attention: Selective, Sustained and Executive. As part of the report, each child will receive their own unique TALi Attention Profile.
Comprehensive Attention Report.
After completing TALi DETECT, you’ll receive a detailed report for each child, outlining their performance relative to the average performance of a large sample of neurotypical children (normative sample). The report identifies the overall attentional development of the child, as well as the child’s areas of strengths and weaknesses.
TALi Detailed attention profiles
DETECT examines the strengths and weaknesses of a child’s attention profile. If your child’s attention profile is Prompt or Monitor, your child may benefit in TALi TRAIN or other interventions.
