Conditions

  • Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Organizational Skills Training

Participants in the OST group attend twenty 1-hour sessions over 10 weeks. OST trains children to use a variety of techniques for improving their organizational skills. Both children and their parents attend every OST session.

BEHAVIORAL

Contingency management (CM)

Participants in the CM group will attend twenty 1-hour sessions over 10 weeks. CM trains parents and teachers to identify desired "end" behaviors and to increase the frequency of these behaviors through the use of a structured reward system. Both children and their parents attend every CM session, but the children's participation will be minimal.
