Abstract
We sought to assess, through two case-studies, the strenghs and limitations of a time-limited, family-based behavioral intervention for preschool-aged children with attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The families completed a ten week child management training program and attended a number of follow-up sessions. Changes in parent and child functioning were assessed with a variety of rating scales, interviews, and data collected by parents at home on targeted behavior problems. Improvements were found in parents' confidence in their child management ability and knowledge of behavioral principles, in certain child behavior problems, in parental ratings of hyperactivity, and in the parent-child relationship. Implications of the findings for the treatment of young children with hyperactivity are discussed.
