Treatment of a 7-Year-Old Hyperactive Boy with Educational Problems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 June 2009
Extract
A 7-year-old hyperactive boy with multiple problems was treated using a combination of interventions, applied sequentially over 14 months. The first phase of treatment was participation in a drug trial (placebo, then drug) and this was followed by cognitive-behavioural training designed to teach strategies with which to approach academic work. Teacher and parent behaviour ratings showed improvement over the drug trial period and educational gains were made during the cognitive-behavioural training, both in the area specifically taught and other academic subjects. The problems choosing appropriate targets and of disentangling the effects of different treatment components are discussed.
