Modified Goal Management Training for Adolescents with ADHD: Student Mahsa Sadeghi publishes a clinical intervention study in Applied Neuropsychology - Child
This study presents preliminary findings on the feasibility and potential utility of an intervention for adolescents with ADHD who have challenges with executive functions (EF). This pilot included 6 teens from across Ontario who participated in an online modified version of Goal Management Training, initially developed by Dr. Brian Levine and colleagues at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto for use with adults. Our findings show that youth who participated in most of the 6 sessions experienced success in reaching their goals, were less impaired in day-to-day life, and had some improvement in EF. This work has been published in the journal Applied Neuropsychology: Child.
