The Effect of Medication on ADHD

The biggest change in children's behavior came between the bare bones behavioral therapy approach to the low behavior therapy approach. The daily report card really did a lot of work in getting kids from an average of a high number of real violations per day to a low number. And then the high intensity program resulted in an incremental effect, but there wasn't as much room to grow. Look at the effect of medication alone in this classroom setting. You needed close to the highest dose of medication to get the same kind of impact that we got on the lower high intensity behavioral therapy approach.
