1. PRESENTED BY: ALYSON HOLLAND Effective Interventions for Children with ADHD in the Classroom

2. Focus Question What are Effective Interventions to Promote Classroom Functioning in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

3. What is Effective?? Stability Balls: This intervention is an effective tool to use for children with ADHD. Disk “O” Sit Cushions: This intervention is an effective tool to use for children with ADHD. Weighted Vests: This intervention is an effective tool to use for children with ADHD. Cog-Fun Intervention Program: This intervention is an effective tool to use for children with ADHD.

4. What is Effective? Robotic Assisted Hand Motion: This intervention may be an effective tool to use but further research needs to be completed. Brain Games: This intervention may be an effective tool to use but further research needs to be completed.
