Homework Success for Children with ADHD
A Family School Intervention Program
Thomas J. Power, James L. Karustis, and Dina F. Habboushe
For children with ADHD in grades 1-6, problems with homework have been shown to contribute
to academic skills deficits, underachievement, and significant levels of parent child
conflict. This manual presents the first empirically supported homework intervention
approach specifically developed for families coping with ADHD. Grounded in a solid
theoretical and empirical rationale, the book provides detailed instructions for setting
up the program, recruiting and selecting participants, and conducting each of the seven
sessions. Practitioners learn how to implement specialized instructional and behavioral
interventions to facilitate collaborative home school relationships, foster effective
study skills and work habits, and enhance family functioning and children's self-esteem.
The program can be used with groups of parents and children or with one family at a time.
Special features of the volume include detailed case examples; checklists for monitoring
the integrity of interventions; recruiting instruments and outcome measures; and helpful
parent handouts.
