Therapy For ADHD
White House Award For ADHD Researcher
If I told you that a researcher on ADHD got the White House's Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the nation's highest honor for professionals, you would want to hear what he has discovered, right?Gregory Fabiano has won that award. His co-author of the study is William Pelham , a distinguished scholar in child psychology. Their work has been published in the March issue of Clinical Psychiology Review which is an anlaysis of over 170 studies carried out at the University of Buffalo.
Basically his work shows that ADHD Benavior Therapy works as well, if not better , than any drugs for ADHD !
That means that when parents know how to react when kids behave well and also when they don't, this is just as effective and sometimes more effective than any ADHD medication!
Behavior modification will enable children to avoid risky drugs and all the problems they bring. In addition, they will be better equipped for life and they will be able to leave the ADHD tunnel.
Now I wonder how many offers Dr. Fabiano has had from drugs companies ?!
Not many, I bet !
ADHD Behavioral Treatment
Facts For Parents
It is now official ! The American Academy of Pediatrics has now come out strongly in favour of ADHD behavioral treatment. What is this behavioral treatment? It is basically a set of techniques that both parents and children learn to manage their behavior and this is so effective (especially in the case of children ADHD and ADHD ODD) that most experts now strongly recommend that ADHD behavioral therapy is used in conjunction with ADHD medicine. It thus forms an essential part of any ADHD treatment.I know of lots of cases where this has worked so well that the dosage of ADHD medicine can be drastically reduced and this is a boon for many parents who constantly worry about the effects of ADHD drugs on children.
Natural ADHD Treatment
ADHD Behavioral Treatment- What Exactly Is It ?
How Does It Work ?
Parents sometimes think this is like having psychotherapy and will involve long and rather tiresome sessions. While some effort will be required, there is also the possibility of following a set of procedures (in the comfort of your own home !)
ADHD behavioral therapy is basically learning simple techniques which will enable the child to replace bad behaviors with good behaviors and to be able to tell the difference between them and as well, will be able to eliminate the bad ADHD behavior. Parents' interventions will be essential in this process.

Practical Examples of ADHD Behavioral Treatment
Helping the ADHD Child To Eliminate Bad Behaviors
Parents learn to adopt a plan for changing ADHD behaviors in their child but they have to do it one by one. Let us imagine that squirming and fidgeting (typical of ADHD behavior) is a real problem especially when doing homework. So you have to explain that the chair should rest on its four legs for a start. Recent research actually shows that restlessness actually helps a hyperactive child to concentrate so a little movement should be allowed ! The main thing is that the child is clear on what 'good' and 'acceptable' behavior is here and that he will be rewarded. That goes for how to deal with telling lies as well.The behavior goals are simple and clear to the child especially if you work on them one at a time. Rewards have to be as immediate as possible - they could be more time on the computer or watching TV or a favourite snack.
Rewards And Consequences
How Does This Work ?
If you get a reward, it helps to motivate and strengthen motivation and drive. It is exactly the same with the ADHD child. The rewards certainly will reinforce the acceptable behavior. Any points system will be worth implementing and these can lead to bigger and better treats as they accumulate, again increasing motivation.
Rewards need not always be material - they can simply be affection or verbal eg. a hug or some nice words of praise.
Everybody talks about consequences rather than punishment for bad behavior. This is important because the child learns about withdrawal of points, privileges and treats when bad behavior occurs. In the same way as the rewards system, this discourages the bad behavior.

Learn How A Child Psychologist Used ADHD Behavior Therapy
Your ADHD Child Can Be Successful Too !
Are attention and hyperactivity problems making it hard for your child to succeed in school? Is your child angry, frustrated and acting out because he can't learn and focus the way other kids do?
Listen to a child psychologist, Dr. Robert Myers who has worked with ADHD children for 25 years.
" I also raised a son with ADHD. My son, Greg, was diagnosed at age 10. I understand how painful it is to watch your child struggle with attention and hyperactivity problems and fall behind in school because it happened to my son. I also know that kids with ADHD are bright, creative and highly talented. And with the right training and support, these children can succeed and excel in school and in life."

Creating The Right Environment
Where and When ?
In learning about ADHD behavioral therapy, parents are given useful tips on facing all sorts of behavior from being defiant , a common symptom of ODD (Oppositional defiant disorder) to coping with forgetfulness and or dealing with tantrums, rebellion and disobedience.
The environment is really important here so breaks during tasks (such as homework),the location of a quiet working area, schedules and routines, breaking down tasks into smaller chunks are going to help the child enormously.
That sort of structuring for any type of task is important. Distractions, clutter, and reduction of eletronic media in the child's bedroom can be helpful.
