Project
PASSThe overall goal of Project PASS was to determine the effectiveness of an assessment-based, school intervention package (e.g., instructional modifications) in improving the academic achievement of elementary school-aged children with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A consultative problem-solving model employing functional academic assessment data was used to individually tailor classroom intervention components for each participating student. Children were assigned to either an Individualized Academic Intervention (IAI) or Generic Academic Intervention (GAI) group, and all participating children received up too 3 semesters of a combination of teacher-, parent-, computer-, and/or peer-mediated academic interventions. A control group, consisting of students not demonstrating ADHD symptomology, was also assessed on the same time line to examine as a no-treatment condition. As of Spring 2006, Project PASS has completed data collection and is no longer recruiting participants.
