Abstract

The article discusses an Australian study which found that intervention families reported a greater decline in severity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and fewer moderate-severe sleep problems at three months and six months compared with the control families. It cites the involvement of 244 children aged 5-12 years with ADHD in the study. It also mentions the participation of parents and teachers in reporting the severity of ADHD symptoms.
