Problems: Trouble getting started, having a hard time focusing, experiencing melt downs, and being wide awake at bedtime.
Jennifer is a high school student who has trouble waking up in the morning, which slows her down and makes her late. It takes her half of the morning to begin to focus. By the end of the school-day she experiences “brain drain” and is irritable. When she gets home all she wants to do is relax. Her mom is not happy that she was late. Again. Jennifer melts down and doesn’t start homework until early evening. By bedtime, she is both “wired and tired” and can’t fall sleep.
Solution: Touchpoint Solutions
Jennifer tried Touchpoint Solutions and they actually helped her to fall asleep. This made it easier to wake up. More rest and better focus helped her to get to school on time. Finding herself less stressed and anxious, she was able to focus better. She wasn’t as exhausted by the end of the school day which helped prevent meltdowns. She was able to start homework earlier and have time to herself in the evening.
What are Touchpoint Solutions?
Touchpoint Solutions (also called BLAST, or Bilateral Alternating Stimulation Tactile) are sensors worn on wristbands, on both left and right sides of the body providing stimulation in the form of vibrations.
How do they work?
Touchpoints provide micro vibrations by using two sensors or wristbands that alternate the brain's stress patterns from one area to another. They reduce stress levels so a person can focus on the task in front of them.
How do Touchpoints help people with ADHD?
Touchpoints can help address four challenges associated with ADHD:
Getting started on tasks
Inducing sleep and lowering hyperactivity
Improving attention
Controlling impulsivity
What overall benefits do Touchpoints provide?

Increase focus by 50%
