Motivational Incentives Help Kids with ADHD

A study out of Nottingham, England has found that not only does medication help children with ADHD, but incentives improve behavior as well.
"According to the researchers & the study's results indicate that stimulant medication normalizes brain function in children with ADHD so that they can pay better attention and be less impulsive. But using motivational incentives along with the drugs, they said, improved the children's performance." [Source: HealthDay News]
Dr. John Krystal, editor of Biological Psychiatry, says the findings suggest that behavioral strategies combined with appropriate medication may give kids with ADHD the best chance possible for improving their performance at school and elsewhere.
