- Title
Theory- and Evidence-Based Strategies for Children with Attentional Problems.

- Abstract
This article reviews factors that contribute to and improve selective and sustained attention in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD—the inattentive and combined subtypes). A brief review of interventions for inattention included psychostimulant medication, behavioral consequences, active-learning, practice, and cognitive behavioral (self-monitoring) techniques. Some of these traditional methods must be applied differently to children with ADHD, and some methods were found to be without empirical support. In contrast, educational interventions that involve increasing antecedent (task and setting) stimulus conditions have been demonstrated to normalize attention, and some actually improved the attentional performance of children with ADHD beyond that of their peers. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
