One-Year Follow-Up of Combined Parent and Child Intervention for Young Children with ADHD 

We theorize that the IY parent program helps parents to reduce coercive parent–child interactions by providing them with strategies for contingent positive management and use of positive discipline. In the present article, we determine whether posttreatment results were sustained at 1-year follow up and present predictors of outcome for a 2011 sample. 

We theorize that the IY parent program helps parents to reduce coercive parent–child interactions by providing them with strategies for contingent positive management and use of positive discipline. In addition the parent program focuses on reducing parents' negative affect around parenting interactions, providing them with information about their children's developmental needs, and addressing parents negative cognitive attributions about their relationship. Last, the parent program teaches parents to use positive, calm, and nurturing parental attention and persistence coaching to teach their children social skills, emotion regulation strategies, and effective problem solving. The IY child program directly teaches children skills related to emotional literacy, self-regulation, social interaction, and problem solving in an environment where children can practice these skills with peers and receive coaching from therapists. Together these two programs provide children with skills that can reduce impulsive and disregulated behaviors associated with ADHD and provide parents with skills to prevent the negative interactions that can lead ADHD to progress to later conduct problems.
