Mary Alvord, a clinical psychologist in Rockville, Md., offers weekly group sessions using cognitive behavioral therapy to help children with ADHD improve their social skills. "We also mix in kids with social anxiety," Alvord says. "They provide excellent modeling opportunities and support for one another."

Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with ADHD (MTA)
followed 579 grade-schoolers for 14 months.
1990s
Parents and teachers rated the medication-only group as having many fewer symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
But they rated the children who got behavioral treatment as doing better on aggressive behavior, peer relations, parent-child relations, and academic achievement.
ndeed, when the study ended and the extra monitoring stopped, the benefits faded for all groups, medicated or not.
