Parental access to ADHD skills programs Overall Rank: 43
Parents can access attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) management skills through ADHD support groups, advocacy groups, and parent skills training services.
Domain : Children
Young people 0 to 11 years of age and conditions common in this population
Additional Domain(s) : Family Involvement
Rationale
Support groups help parents learn more about ADHD through lectures or reading material and can help parents cope emotionally by communicating with other parents of ADHD children in a supporting setting.
Advocacy groups are groups to help parents learn about their children have in the educational setting and what special services are available for their needs. These groups can also aid in parent interactions with the school system and can give parents some direction in finding services for their children.
Parenting skill training, one of the most useful strategies a parent can undertake to improve harmony in the home is to learn ways to modify childs behavior in a manner consistent with the school-focused behavior modification. This serves to give the child direction, goals and limits in hopes of improving compliance, behavior, self-esteem, etc. this training can be obtained through formal classes, books, or counseling.
