Students wanted teachers to initiate classroom support subtly, be available for conversations about their learning, and value peer relationships as…

Objective: Developmental disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are some of the biggest contributors to mental health problems. However, it is not well known whether and how experiencing ADHD- or ASD-related symptoms can cause mental illness later in life. Participants: The sample…

We used real world data to summarize comorbidities and interventions among patients newly diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Data were derived from two claims-based US healthcare databases; Medicaid and Optum to construct a retrospective cohort of 36,000 patients. Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder (ADHD) was the most common…

This article aims to convey to the reader the experience of teaching in prison. Standard teaching methods within the correctional environment and methods of integrating support for executive function issues such as ADD/ADHD are examined.

Daily behavioral report cards (DRC) are an efficacious intervention for children with ADHD, yet there is little information on Latinx teachers' perceptions about ADHD and preferences related to behavioral treatment. The purpose of the current study was to examine the feasibility and acceptability of behavioral consultation with Latinx teachers and…

Introduction: Parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) endorse increased parenting stress and lower levels of parenting efficacy and satisfaction as compared to parents of children without ADHD. Additionally, maternal ADHD and depression differentiate children with and without ADHD, with children with ADHD being…

Objective: The goal of this study was to examine the experiences of women diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. Methods: Benefits and costs associated with obtaining the diagnosis were examined in two focus groups conducted virtually. Factors hindering and facilitating the identification, assessment, and subsequent treatment of ADHD were also…
