Central Executive Training and Parent Training for ADHD

This study is looking at how two treatments, Central Executive Training (CET) and Behavioral Parent Training (BPT), can help children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). CET is a computer program designed to improve a child's working memory, which can help with ADHD symptoms and schoolwork. BPT is a program for parents that aims to improve family life and reduce challenging behaviors in children. Researchers believe using these two treatments together, especially CET before BPT, could be very beneficial. To join, children must be 8 to 12 years old with an ADHD diagnosis and have certain ratings from parents and teachers. The study will measure how well these treatments improve memory, parenting skills, and a parent's confidence. The study plans to enroll 200 participants, but its current status is unclear.
