ild with ADHD,” she said. “It meant we didn’t have to deal with this alone. We had a focus group that positively helped us work through issues.”

The techniques Shelton learned, such as “active listening,” have made her personal time with her son a rich experience. “We look forward to our time together,” she said. “And his teacher said she has seen a tenfold improvement in his social skills.”

Mikami recently worked with two groups in her study: the “treatment” group, which received training, and a control group of children with ADHD who did not receive training. She is comparing the outcomes of the two groups and is finding that the treatment group children are exhibiting a marked improvement over the ADHD group that did not receive treatment.

The families in the study, from both groups, represent a range of income and education levels and both genders. So far Mikami has worked with 20 families, 10 from each group, and she is planning another phase of the study.

“The idea is to help them when they’re young, so they may have a lifetime of successful relationships, the kind of positive experiences that will carry over into everything they do,”she said.
