A New Behavioral Intervention for ADHD in the Classroom
As many parents will attest, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) often fail to improve classroom behavior, largely due to the absence of evidence-based interventions and support.
For example, a recent study found that only half of IEPs for high school students with ADHD who exhibit challenging classroom behaviors included goals related to increasing on-task and socially appropriate behaviors.1 Of additional concern, only one in three students with ADHD receives classroom behavior-management support.
2 And even when a student has behavioral goals written into their IEP, there’s a good chance their teacher has not received direct training on how to implement these interventions.An approach called the Life Course Model could significantly improve outcomes by keeping parents informed on the effectiveness of behavioral interventions and by ensuring consistency between home and school strategies.The model’s primary aim is to foster collaborative family-school partnerships.
Through meetings with the child’s academic and/or IEP team, parents can help make decisions regarding the best behavioral interventions to address the child’s needs.[eBook: The Teacher’s Guide to ADHD and Classroom Behavior]Daily communication about a student’s progress may also allow the teacher to advise on implementing interventions at home.
