Animal Agentz is based on Dr Jones PhD at a children's hospital

Hi
I like "Squidoo" web site but the adverts around my text are not in any way my recommendations or choice. Squidoo is a great way to find out about things.

My Background: Dr Mark Jones has self funded and developed a series of learning products
that help to reduce pain, fear and anxiety through CBT (cognitive
behavioural therapy). The child appears to play with cartoon characters
called Animal Agentz but each of these characters teach a unique CBT skill.

For example, if you tell a child to relax, the meaning is not understood.
After using the Animal Agentz product the child can use relaxation actions
which they have seen.

Animal Agentz provides a series of supporting medical animations, aimed
broadly at 4 to 11 year old children, to help them deal with a range of
issues and stressful situations through an interactive media format,
internet and also possibly DVD.

The reality is that these skills are not taught for many reasons in
hospitals and by medical doctors e.g. staff availability, time, skills
etc. The product resolves these issues and can also be used at home. This
is where the children themselves have asked to play with the Animal Agentz.

We have been approached by medical doctors (UK and USA) to use the product for medical issues such as asthma, ADHD, injections (immunisation), sickle cell
disease pain to palliative care (children with short life spans).
Non-medical applications include examination nerves and bullying etc. I
have received great support from the medical fraternity in the UK
(references available from Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital & Bath University & National Health Service).

The product is cost-effective and will save money for hospitals and
general practitioners by reducing medical staff time and reduce the length
of time spent in hospital. Parents like the product because they have a
role to play, and empowers their child. The product is made so it could
work in any language (English at present) and could be used as a way to
standardising many medical methods for children around the world.

The principles behind the way these coping skills; are
delivered in the product form the basis of a UK (granted) and international patent application.

Positive market research for the product was conducted at the London
Business School.

The product is free to hospices etc
We are on line (may 2008) but are oringal funding has now stopped.

Thank you

    When we recently conducted an independent trial of our product, we found parents had many more applications for which they used Animal Agentz.

    The Animal Agentz behaviours are as follows:
    Breathing skills; taught by a fish
    Stretching skills; taught by a dog
    Distraction skills; taught by a cat
    Guided imagery skills; taught by a monkey
    Positive self statements; taught by a lion

    The parents applied these behaviours in new ways to help their child.
    Always ask your doctor how best to use Animal Agentz.

    Responses from independent research:

    "This is perfect and what me and my family have been waiting years
    for. My 9 yr old has A.D.H.D and presents behavioural difficulties.
    His biological father rejected him a yr ago and this hasn't helped,
    his self esteem is very low and finds making new friends very
    stressful. The local social services tell me he needs therapy like
    this but are unable to provide it! I am having to pay a private
    therapist to help my son so when this comes in which I know would
    benefit many parents that I email, talk to etc then I can guarantee at
    least 15 sales for definite....where do I order!!!! Great idea and
    very user friendly, fab idea and so much needed for the 21st century
    where many children face daily struggles with little or no help and so
    they suffer. I am in 100% support of this stimulating and so much
    needed idea!" Mrs Garvey, East Yorkshire

    "I did these exercises with my daughter; she loved them and wants to
    play again." Mrs Rogers, Plymouth

    "This product is excellent and would also be beneficial to children
    with disorders such as ADHD. It would also be a great intro DVD for
    children who are about to be admitted to hospital as there was nothing
    like this about when my son had to go in for a heart op and it would
    have helped him no end." Miss Gooch, Norwich

    "I think it's an extremely good idea."Mrs Hirst, Eastbourne

    "Whilst doing this survey my son who is 7 and a type 1 diabetic came
    to watch and listen of his own accord; he really liked it." Ms Halden,
    West Midlands

    "Great idea as it is." Miss Hartley, Lancashire

    "I looked at the video with my 6 yr old and she loved it." Mrs Reeves, Norfolk

    "This would be well received in schools." Mrs McFadden, Antrim
