Classroom Support of ADHD Social Skills Development

该项目的目的是设计，开发和评估综合媒体干预（IMI），这将有助于教师，学校辅导员，小组促进者和相关人员，以促进儿童和青少年与破坏性行为障碍，如ADHD，ODD和CD的发展适龄的社会问题解决技能。 IMI是一套课堂实施材料，包括基于视频的场景，课堂指南和教师培训材料，介绍和支持社会问题解决技能的发展。 这些材料将通过一系列传播机制提供，从传统的录像和纸质产品到交互式多媒体光盘，再到网络流媒体，以支持教师和学生。 通过提供媒介，同时确保最广泛的最终用户获得基本教学战略。 这种材料的再利用最大限度地利用了项目的每个组成部分。 第一阶段将开发和测试（1）三个基于视频的场景和一个介绍性视频部分，（2）一个基于交互式视频的场景，（3）一个基于纸张的教师指南和（4）一个为期一天的研讨会，介绍教师的程序。 设计和开发将遵循以用户为中心的设计方法，用户参与软件包各个组件的多次迭代。 将进行两项评价活动：（1）形成性评价和（2）两部分疗效试验。 拟定商业应用： IMI将是一个具有成本效益的手段，为大量学生提供解决社会问题的治疗。 IMI在商业上特别可行，因为最近的立法要求学校为有破坏性、攻击性行为问题的儿童制定有效的干预措施，随着安全学校等概念越来越受到重视，这一趋势可能会继续下去。

The purpose of this project is to design, develop, and evaluate an Intergrated Media Intervention (IMI) that will assist teachers, school counselors, group facilitators and related personnel to foster the development of age-appropriate social problem-solving skills by children and adolescents with disruptive behavior disorders such as ADHD, ODD, and CD. The IMI is a package of classroom implementation materials including video-based scenarios, classroom guides, and teacher training materials that introduce and support the development of social problem-solving skills. These materials will be made available through an array of dissemination mechanisms ranging from traditional video and paper-based products through interactive multimedia CD-ROMs to web-based streaming media in order to support both the teacher and the learner. By providing the medium while also ensuring access to the basic pedagogical strategies to the widest range of end-users. Such a re-purposing of materials maximizes the use of each individual component of the project. Phase I will develop and test (1) three video-based scenarios and an introductory video segment, (2) an Interactive Video based Scenario, (3) a paper-based teacher guide and (4) a one day workshop introducing teachers to the program. Design and development will follow a user-centered design methodology with user participation in several iterations of the various components of the package. Two evaluation activities will be conducted: (1) formative evaluation, and (2) a two-part efficacy trial. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The IMI will be a cost-effective means of providing social problem-solving treatment to large numbers of students. The IMI is particularly commercially viable since recent legislation mandates that schools develop effective interventions for children with disruptive, aggressive behavior problems, a trend with is likely to continue as concepts such as the Safe School effort come increasingly to the forefront.
