When It Is Used
Use it during MBT-C sessions when a child's attention or regulation makes it hard to stay with the shared therapeutic interaction.
Noticing and Naming
Noticing and Naming is a clinician-led MBT-C live-session support for child and family mental health clinicians. It helps the clinician notice and plainly name what is happening in the here and now so a child can re-engage shared attention and regain enough attentional regulation for later emotion or mental-state work.
Try the live cue card with sample, non-identifying context.

Teletherapy Context
Teletherapy support is limited to noting screen or remote-session context where it affects the here-and-now shared focus.
Repeat Use
When observation capture is enabled, repeated notes can descriptively show attention-response patterns by context without formal scoring.
Does the child fill anything out?
No. The child does not complete a form; the clinician uses a live cue and observes the child's response.
Can this be used in teletherapy?
Yes. The supported teletherapy adaptation is noting screen or remote-session context as part of the here-and-now shared focus.
Does the tool score attention control?
No. It records optional clinician observations only and does not produce formal attention scores or diagnoses.
What is saved from the demo?
The tool and selected settings are saved; fictional child context and sample observation notes are not carried over as real client data.
