I also agree, my older difficult child could always multi task. I remember trying to tell him that he had to appear to pay attention as well as pay attention to people or they would get annoyed but I had better luck telling the teachers that he was paying attention even when it didn't appear that he was, after a few tests, and good scores, they would begin to see he really was getting the information.
As far as a program, I bought a CD "Earobics" that basically helps teach listening skills. It wasn't cheap, about sixty $ for the beginner at home one but it does help with focus, listening and phonics as well, It comes across as educational even though they try to make it fun. I struggle to get my Learning Disability (LD) child to do it but his twin loves it.
