This study compared 2 school-based training interventions for adolescents with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): the Challenging Horizons Program-after school version (CHP-AS) and Program-mentoring (CHP-M) each other a community care (CC) condition.Participants were 326 students (sixth through eighth grade) diagnosed ADHD. Interventions conducted 1 academic year. CHP-AS occurred twice weekly included organization, social functioning, skills interventions. In CHP-M, paired...
Objective Cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) includes excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, and hypoactive behaviors that are distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder inattentive (ADHD-IN) symptoms. A growing number of studies indicate CDS symptoms may be associated with ratings social withdrawal. However, it is important to examine this association in children specifically recruited for the presence or absence CDS, incorporate multiple methods including direct...
To advance the research examining sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) construct, a key priority has been to develop assessment tools that are reliable and valid. The current study builds upon existing work by conducting most thorough psychometric evaluation date of teacher-reported Child Adolescent Behavior Inventory (CABI) SCT attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder inattention (ADHD-IN) modules in large sample elementary students. Participants were 7,613 students (Grades 2-5; 50.3% boys)...
Disruptive student behavior in middle school is associated with negative outcomes, including poor grades, low achievement scores, dropout, lost teaching time, teacher burnout, and societal expenditures. Classroom Behavior Management (CBM) strategies are effective at reducing disruptive behavior, decreasing stress, increasing elementary students, but less known regarding these for students. The purpose of the current study was to assess (a) rates on-task behaviors classrooms, overall by...
Abstract Importance: Youths with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have challenges executive function (EF). However, there are few measures to objectively assess EF, such as time management and prioritization. The Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA) is a promising performance-based EF measure that has rarely been used youths ASD. Objective: To characterize the performance of ASD on WCPA association caregiver-rated EF. Design: Observational summary data obtained during baseline evaluation...
Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have more sleep problems than their peers which contribute to behavioral and functional impairments. This study examines the bidirectional relationship between nightly (i.e., total time efficiency) daily behavior of children ADHD.Forty-three (ages 6-13 [mean = 9.05, 54% male, 77% medicated]) participated in a 2-week during an ADHD Summer Treatment Program (STP). Sleep was measured actigraphy. Behavior assessed using STP clinical...
The educational services available for fully included middle schoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the general education setting are not well known. Even less is known about how executive functioning (EF) deficits of such youth addressed classroom. current study sought to identify challenges, including EF, that ASD face and they receive on their Individualized Education Program (IEP), also explore specific strategies used build EF skills at school. A convenience data sample was...
In this study, we intend to determine if reading tests aloud provides a differential boost youth with elevated symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) relative same-aged peers. Participants were 36 youth, 44% or at risk for ADHD, who participated in week long summer camp. Over the course week, attended five 45-min classroom periods followed by 10-min tests. randomized into one two conditions (i.e., read and silent) that alternated across 5 days. Results indicate small...
Academic challenges such as losing/not turning in assignments, misplacing materials, and inefficient studying are common middle-school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without intellectual disability. Deficits organization, planning, prioritizing, memory/materials management, skills [i.e. academic executive functioning (EF) deficits] contribute to these challenges.
The purpose of this study was to explore the unique relationships between specific attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and functional impairment in school-age children using parent teacher ratings.Parents teachers rated ADHD comorbidities (internalizing oppositional behaviors) as well impairments (academic, relationship, classroom behavior) for 8689 Vanderbilt Diagnostic Rating Scales. Stepwise regression used determine which 18 symptom items were most associated with...
This study aimed to (1) examine benchmarks for the benefits of Daily Report Card (DRC) within a therapeutic recreation setting, that is, Summer Treatment Program (STP) and (2) explore differences in baseline characteristics treatment outcomes among optimal suboptimal responders. Benchmarks were examined children's DRC target behaviors using standardized mean difference (SMD) effect sizes (ES) across 2-week periods STP.Participants 38 children attending an STP.Aside from teasing, all targets...
