Study Description

Organizational skills training (OST) is a behavioral intervention that has been increasingly used to address difficulties with time management and organization of materials in children with ADHD, that tend to persist despite medication and behavioral treatments. This randomized clinical superiority trial is going to investigate the effect of Organizational Skills Training, a group treatment approach for parents and children. The program is also involving a computerized program, vTime, that will help the children manage time more effectively. A total of 98 children with ADHD aged 6-13 years is expected to be randomized to either intervention or control group in a single blind design. Both groups will receive treatment-as-usual. The intervention group is going to participate in a group training for parents and children for 10 weekly sessions.
