Abstract
The research study aims to gather information on the level of effectiveness of T- stool to increase attention span of patients with attention problems. It answers the profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender, and rehabilitation center where they were confined, the common manifestations of the patient respondents with attention problem, the level of effectiveness of T- stool in terms of duration of sitting tolerance and effect of completion of the activity, the most common conditions that will be benefited by this modality and the performance components targeted by this modality aside from attention span. In this paper, the researchers recommend to occupational therapists and special education teachers to utilize T- stool as a treatment modality for patients with attention span problems.
