Series: The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series

Distilling decades of research, this practical manual presents an innovative intervention for families of 6- to 10-year-olds (grades 1–5) with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Family–School Success (FSS) focuses on improving children's behavior and academic performance by strengthening parent–child, teacher–student, and family–school relationships. Detailed guidelines are provided for implementing FSS with parent groups or individual families, including how to involve children in groups and collaborate with teachers. The authors discuss ways to deliver FSS effectively in school- and clinic-based settings, private practice, and primary care. In a convenient large-size format, the book features dozens of reproducible parent handouts and worksheets, assessment tools, and fidelity checklists, which can also be downloaded and printed.

This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.

Reviews for Family-School Success for Children with ADHD: A Guide for Intervention

"""This book is a 'must have' for clinicians, researchers, and trainers concerned with supporting children with ADHD. FSS is a highly innovative approach that integrates research-based practices and encourages their delivery in the context of positive family–school relationships. The comprehensive tools provided in the book--including handouts, fidelity checklists, evaluation measures, and tips for adaptations--ensure seamless and effective implementation. I can't think of any intervention more important than FSS for students with ADHD!""--Susan M. Sheridan, PhD, Director, Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools, University of Nebraska–Lincoln ""Based on decades of state-of-the-art research and written by leaders in the field, this book leverages the relationship between parents and school personnel to enhance academic and social–emotional functioning for children with ADHD. Few ADHD resources integrate home and school interventions like this one, making it a unique and necessary manual for therapists and school mental health providers.""--Andrea Chronis-Tuscano, PhD, Joel and Kim Feller Endowed Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park-"
