Book Description
The goal of this therapy approach is to protect an ADHD child from the consequences of problem ADHD behavior using a problem-solving approach. Treatment is individualized and puts in place alternative strategies to reduce the impact of ADHD symptoms and behaviors. Key Strategies The therapist, child, and family construct "fail-safe" contingencies to make the environment around an ADHD child more compatible and friendly. This can be done through reducing or eliminating chances of behavioral-emotional errors at school, home, church, and in the neighborhood. The therapist must discuss the problem behaviors with the parents and child (with possible input from school). Problem behaviors include not completing class work or homework, walking around the classroom during class, forgetting homework assignments, not turning in homework, running to be first in line, and other similar behaviors. In this video, we design and implement a contingency plan (or behavioral contract) to reduce and eliminate the problem behavior(s). The intervention may be the responsibility of the child, the parent(s), school, or the environment. ADHD behaviors and challenges often change with the age of the child (teen). The format, however, for intervention is essentially the same. The steps of the format include identify the problem behaviors and their consequences, put in place new behavioral strategies to reduce or eliminate unintended consequences, and monitor outcome.
