Brief Summary

The therapeutic care of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) children focuses on the child but also on his environment and in particular his family. This type of approach has long existed in Anglo-Saxon countries. This project aims to collect preliminary data to build study to valid efficacy of a parenting skills program for parents of ADHD children in France and on the child's hyperactivity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Motor Activity

  Accelerometer was calibrated at 30 Hz. Data were poached at 60 seconds. The variable used is the vector magnitude (VM), which accounts for accelerations of motion in the three planes of space and is expressed in counts/minute.

Behavioral Parent Training

EXPERIMENTAL

This program includes 10 thematic sessions aimed at changing the parent's view of their child by encouraging them to focus on appropriate behaviors. The sessions focus on specific themes such as positive attention, the principle of reinforcement, or even homework management. This program combines knowledge about ADHD with behavioral and cognitive techniques.

Model Details: Non-pharmacological treatments focusing on parenting skills are found in many recommendations. Programs for families of children with behavioral problems (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder) have been developed in several countries and adapted to ADHD. These programs take a similar approach: providing information about the disorder, changing in parents' view of their child's disorders, and didactic techniques that are known to be effective. These treatments enable parents to regain confidence in their parenting role, thanks to means of analysis (ABC model) and action (behavioral tools, such as reinforcement practice, token economy, time-out).
