ADHD--What Can We Do?
by Russell A. Barkley |
This video program introduces professionals in training, teachers, and parents to a
variety of the most effective techniques for managing ADHD in the classroom, at home, and
on family outings. Featuring interviews with parents of ADHD children, this program equips
school professionals with the understanding they need to work in conjunction with the
parents of their ADHD students.
With an emphasis on the value of parent groups for education and support, Russell A.
Barkley clearly describes behavior modification techniques such as home-token systems and
time-out strategies. The video format allows the audience to see the techniques in action.
Viewers learn the importance of positive reinforcement for good behavior, reducing the
length of assigned work, emphasizing problem solving, externalizing rules, anticipating
problems before changing activities, and parent training.
