Family-School Success for Children with ADHD A Guide for Intervention

Distilling decades of research, this practical manual presents an innovative intervention
for families of 6- to 10-year-olds (grades 1–5) with attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD). Family–School Success (FSS) focuses on improving children's
behavior and academic performance by strengthening parent–child, teacher–student,
and family–school relationships. Detailed guidelines are provided for implementing FSS
with parent groups or individual families, including how to involve children in groups
and collaborate with teachers. The authors discuss ways to deliver FSS effectively in
school- and clinic-based settings, private practice, and primary care. In a convenient
large-size format, the book features dozens of reproducible parent handouts and
worksheets, assessment tools, and fidelity checklists, which can also be downloaded
and printed.

•Unique, innovative behavioral intervention that emphasizes strengthening
relationships while building critical skills.
•From expert authors, FSS draws on key research about parent training, motivational
interviewing, classroom behavioral interventions, and more.
•Perfect for a range of professionals, from child and school psychologists and social
workers to school counselors and primary care physicians.
•FSS is designed to implement with parents of 6- to 10-year-olds, but can be adapted
for younger and older children as well.
•The focus on home–school partnerships, rather than just parent training or just
strategies for teachers, is what sets the book apart.
