We also know that instant rewards for these children are virtually as powerful as their medication (see: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authored_newsitem.cws_home/companynews05_01490). This means that a powerfully constructed behavioral and cognitive component that provides immediate feedback can produce significant results.
A quick review of programs for this would include ADHD Nanny (www.adhdnanny.com) and Play Attention (www.playattention.com).
We used these programs at our school with great success. Coupling these with an individualized education plan or IEP is essential for promoting positive long-term outcomes.
