What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the effectiveness of a school-based intervention called the Collaborative Life Skills Program (CLS) for children with ADHD in grades 2-5. The project will implement team-based strategies, including creating Team Charters, providing Team Communication Training, and monitoring Team Performance, to improve how educators work together in supporting students. By fostering better communication and collaboration among school staff, the goal is to optimize the delivery of the CLS program and improve outcomes for children with ADHD. Parents and educators will be involved in the process to ensure that the intervention is tailored to meet the needs of the students.
