What this research studies
This research focuses on creating and testing a school-based program designed to support students with ADHD as they transition to high school, a critical time for these individuals. The program will involve peer-led orientations and ongoing support during the first 16 weeks of ninth grade, aiming to enhance motivation and executive functioning skills. By collaborating with local high schools and incorporating feedback from students, parents, and educators, the intervention will be tailored to meet the specific needs of the participants. The goal is to provide a low-resource solution that can be easily implemented in schools.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are rising ninth-grade students diagnosed with ADHD.
Not a fit: Students without a diagnosis of ADHD or those not transitioning to high school may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve the high school experience and academic outcomes for students with ADHD.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using peer-led interventions for students with ADHD, indicating potential for success in this approach.
