Summary

This trial will compare language & behavioral interventions to see which is best for students w/ ADHD who are English language learners. Participants will be randomized to a group & receive different interventions. Researchers will compare results at end of program.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English language learners in kindergarten or 1st grade who show symptoms of ADHD. They must have a teacher and parent willing to participate, and be identified as Level 1-4 English Language Learners by their school.
What is being tested?
The study compares four approaches: usual school experience, an 18-week language intervention, a daily report card behavioral plan, and a combination of both interventions. Participants are randomly assigned to one group to see which method improves language learning and behavior.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational and behavioral interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety due to the changes in their routine or the demands of the interventions.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Language InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The language intervention will include 18 weeks of 20-25 minutes of intervention approximately 4 days per week. The language intervention is delivered via shared book reading and focuses on English language vocabulary development as well as development of syntax knowledge and expressive language.
Group II: Daily Report CardExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Daily Report Card group will receive the Daily Report Card intervention for 18 weeks.
Group III: Combined Language and Daily Report CardExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants in this arm will receive a combination of the language intervention and the behavioral intervention. The interventions will be implemented simultaneously for 18 weeks.
Group IV: School As UsualActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in the School as Usual Arm will receive neither the Behavioral Intervention nor the Language Intervention. There will be no restrictions, however, on interventions or supports that students may receive outside of the study either implemented through standard school protocol or accessed by parents. Thus, the School as Usual Arm provides a real-world practice comparison for the three active treatment groups.
