Development of a Game-supported Intervention

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

In brief

The investigators will develop and pilot test an innovative computer-assisted behavior intervention (CABI) for middle school students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The CABI will deliver evidence-based behavior interventions for ADHD in a manner that is acceptable to teachers and motivating for students. The key element of the CABI is a serious game that will teach and encourage rehearsal of ADHD coping skills in an engaging game environment. Transfer of those skills to authentic education settings will be facilitated by teacher interventionists in consultation with school or clinical psychologists. The investigators will test the CABI condition (n = 18) against traditional teacher consultation for ADHD (n = 18) on measures of consultation fidelity and student academic and behavioral outcomes.
