The effects of participation in the school breakfast program by low income children on academic achievement and rates of absence and tardiness are reported from the Department of Pediatrics, Boston City Hospital, Boston, MA.
Highlights
A comparison of parent, teacher, and child performance rating scales in the diagnosis and follow-up of methylphenidate treated children with AEDH is reported from Developmental Pediatrics, San Antonio, TX; Department of Pediatrics, Madigan Army Medical Center, Taccma, WA; and Department of Pediatrics, William Beauront Army Medical Cener, El Paso, TX
The teacher rating scale showed an increase in attention span and a decrease in hyperactivity, the parent rating scale showed a significant decrease in hyperactive behavior and the Gordon child performance scale showed no significant change
The teacher and parent rating scales were helpful in monitoring the effects of treatment with methylphenidate while the child performance-dependent test was insensitive to drug effects
