This review highlights evidence-based academic interventions for children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It focuses on reading and math strategies to improve school performance for students with ADHD.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Child Psychology
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Background:
- Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) face significant academic challenges.
- Academic difficulties in ADHD often receive less intervention focus than behavioral or social issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review empirically supported academic interventions for children with ADHD.
- To provide examples of evidence-based strategies for reading and mathematics.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of empirically supported academic interventions.
- Categorization of interventions for reading and mathematics.
- Description of teacher-mediated strategies for basic and higher-level cognitive skills.
Main Results:
- Specific interventions for reading (e.g., phonological awareness, collaborative strategic reading) and mathematics (e.g., computation, schema-based instruction) are detailed.
- Interventions address both foundational skills and complex cognitive processes.
Conclusions:
- Effective academic interventions exist for students with ADHD.
- Further research and implementation in educational settings are needed to support students with ADHD academically.
