When To Best Consider Behavioral Interventions

intervention programs

Parents and pre-schoolers with ADHD saw considerable improvement after behavioral interventions, a new intervention study shows. Parents received educational classes that focused on parenting skills, understanding child behavior and child safety. Individualized, at-home interventions and group therapy techniques were used over a one-year period, which led to a decrease in behavioral problems and an increase in social skills. Many children and parents need a little extra help getting acclimated to the traditional school system. After all, no one is born the perfect parent!
