Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Multimodal Treatment Study found that the most successful approach to dealing with the academic issues associated with ADHD is a combination of medication and psychosocial treatment. This approach addresses both the underlying neurological factors contributing to ADHD as well as the behavioral and social factors that compound academic difficulties. Medical treatment alone may address the neurological factors, but does not address the social and behavioral aspects. Psychosocial treatment alone may address some of the behavioral and social factors, but does not address the neurological factors. Removing a child from traditional school environments is not a recommended or evidence-based approach for improving academic outcomes in children with ADHD.
