Faded bedtime has been evaluated as a behavioral intervention for delayed sleep-onset principally with children and youth who have intellectual and developmental disabilities in hospital and home settings. The present case report describes behavioral assessment and faded bedtime intervention in a 21-year old adult man with autism spectrum disorder…

In recent decades, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been at the center of research interest in medicine, psychology, and education. Research has focused on its etiology, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches. However, there are also many researchers who have focused their interest on teachers' opinions regarding the inclusion of…

Students who exhibit behaviors commonly associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are at risk for academic struggles and impaired relationships, often needing targeted interventions to be successful. While research supports the need for using interventions to improve classroom performance for students impacted by ADHD, it…

Background: The current study aimed to validate the utility of previously established validity indicators derived from MOXO-d-CPT's continuous performance test. Method: Healthy simulators feigned impairment after searching online for relevant information, an ecologically valid coaching condition (n = 39). They were compared to ADHD patients (n =…

Objective: Previous studies have linked ADHD with self-harm, but the processes underlying this association are not fully understood. This research aims to investigate the role of sleep disturbances as a potential pathway between ADHD diagnosis and self-harm behaviors. Materials and Methods: The study included 90 youth aged between 11 and 18 years,…

There has been a growing focus on the importance of understanding strengths in children with neurodevelopmental conditions and how such knowledge can support clinical practices. However, limited research has explored systematic reports of strengths from caregivers of children with neurodevelopmental conditions, most commonly autism. In this study,…

Prior research suggests that physical activity aids students with children affected by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who are more likely to exhibit high levels of inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive behaviors that result in difficulties in academic and social settings. Because of the lack of alternative treatments, the…

This study examined the efficacy and acceptability of human-artificial intelligence (AI) hybrid tutoring in improving the writing skills of twice exceptional (2e) bilingual students with motor dysgraphia and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by employing an explanatory sequential design. In the quantitative phase, 12 2e bilingual…

The purpose of the present study is to compare risk and predictors of poor safety awareness and accidental injuries in ASD, ADHD, and neurotypical samples. Neurodivergent groups (ADHD-I n = 309; ADHD-C n = 747; ASD-only n = 328; ASD + ADHD n = 1,108) were 2-17 years old. The neurotypical group (n = 186) was 6-12 years of age. Maternal ratings on…

Friendships for students with ADHD have been presented within the literature as an area of complex challenges. Medical perspectives surrounding ADHD attribute these challenges in social relationships to deficits in the individual's behaviour, emotional regulation, prosocial skills and patterns of comorbidity that males and females with ADHD…

Objective: Despite community colleges accounting for 34% of all undergraduate enrollment, research on substance-use patterns among community college students is limited. Community college students may engage in substance use differently than their 4-year university counterparts due to differences in psychosocial factors and decreased availability…

Parent training programs aimed at improving language outcomes for children with complex communication needs have predominantly been evaluated on child-centered outcomes and less often on the impact on social life or parental well-being. This study examined parent perceptions of social life before and after ComAlong, a group intervention providing…

In the last decade, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) have observed an unprecedented rise in young children presenting with suicidal ideation, needing urgent assessment and treatment.
