http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061222/ZNYT04/612220862/1006/SPORT
This Herald Tribune article is a wonderful summary on the benefits of combining parenting and therapy techniques with medication management for successful treatment of AD/HD. The Popczynskis share their experience in the science behind nondrug treatments as well as traditional medication approaches. There does not need to be an argument over which is better, medication or psychotherapy. Both have their appropriate place in treating ADHD. The best outcomes can be reached using an open mind to develop an individualized plan based on your family’s specific needs. And remember to be patient. Using behavioral modification techniques takes time, but has life long rewards.
