This book is both empirically supported and clinically sensitive. It provides needed rigor and integration to help meet the clear need for consolidated efforts between home and school for youth with ADHD." --Stephen P. Hinshaw, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley"This book provides a practical road map for anyone wishing to implement a successful homework program for children and their families. It is designed for students with ADHD, but its applications are not limited to this group alone. The ideas and procedures could be used with just about any student having homework problems. The book is a treasure trove of practical ideas, covering everything from implementing positive motivational strategies, to assessing problems, to troubleshooting, follow-up, and family support. Anyone working with students who are having academic difficulties should have this valuable book." --William R. Jenson, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Educational Psychology, University of Utah"This book presents an innovative program that is ideal for implementation when homework has become a frustrating battle that nobody wins. The assessment measures, session scripts, treatment integrity checklists, and parent handouts provided will enable practitioners to quickly get the Homework Success program up and running in their schools or clinics. Clear and informative, the book does an excellent job of demonstrating how to incorporate a behaviorally based approach within a collaborative family-school framework." --Leslie Rescorla, PhD, Department of Psychology, Bryn Mawr College - Long Description For children with ADHD in grades 1-6, problems with homework have been shown to contribute to academic skill deficits, uderachievement, and significant levels of parent-child conflict.

Review Quote "The program outlined inHomework Successfeatures clinical support for parents, children, and teachers to help them acquire specific strategies each can invoke to enable children with ADHD to get through homework assignments with reduced stress while increasing the childs accuracy and efficiency of homework completion....Two important features and strengths of theHomework SuccessProgram are: 1) the inclusion of comprehensive practical guidelines for the clinician implementing the program; and 2) the clinical support provided to participating parents/caregivers and reachers as they begin to establish collaborative relationships.Homework Successincludes tools clinicians can use to screen for parent/caregivers who are likely to benefit from a behavioral approach to dealing with homework problems; suggestions on how to begin to foster collaborative home-school relationships; detailed descriptions of how to plan for and conduct the seven structured group sessions involving parents...and concurrent sessions involving their children...; instruments and instructions on how to measure the outcomes of the program...; and support material to be used before and during the groups sessions....The second strength ofHomework Successis the clinical support it provides to parents and teachers as they work develop a collaborative relationship that has as its initial focus the resolution of homework difficulties."--Education Review Details ISBN1572306165 Author Dina F.
