Why is our ADHD intervention so successful?

Over the last 20 years we have been testing the program in various settings with children with additional needs alongside their ADHD and we have at every moment involved the parents of the children with ADHD to test out our ideas, to find which ones help the most. We have conducted many research trials and we had tried to provide a flexible approach to the programs delivery that suit the range of parents needs. This is a dynamic program that adapts as we learn more about ADHD and we learn what helps parents.
