TOVA, which stands for Test of Variables of Attention, is a computer test that helps doctors understand how well someone can pay attention. It’s really important because being able to focus is key for learning, finishing tasks, and communicating with others. The TOVA is like playing a game on the computer. Even though it feels like playing a game, the TOVA is actually watching how well you pay attention to things on the screen or listen to sounds. Doctors use the information from the TOVA to figure out if someone might have trouble paying attention, like with ADHD.
