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?

 

Touchpoints are well researched. They can:

   

  • Increase focus by 50%

  • Reduce stress by 74%

  • Help people fall asleep in 15 minutes and wake up 80% less

  • Shift people from fight or flight

  • Help to think clearly

  • Help with sensory overload

 

Touchpoint Solutions can be a valuable tool in managing some of the daily challenges associated with ADHD, namely getting started, increasing focus, calming stress and inducing sleep.
