Comments
As prevalence rates of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder increase, so does the need for effective academic interventions for these children. What is expected and required of children in school is completely at odds with what children with ADHD are capable of. With that said, it is pertinent to examine, analyze, and compare the efficacy of differentiated interventions that would increase and/or enhance academic performance of these students. This paper will analyze previous research studies in order to determine effective academic intervention strategies for students with ADHD. In addition, survey results from local Monroe County educators will demonstrate correlations between academic, behavioral, and medical interventions as they pertain to academic performance of students with ADHD.
