What data supports the effectiveness of the drug methylphenidate for ADHD classroom interventions?
Is the treatment safe for humans?
How does the treatment for ADHD using behavioral classroom interventions and methylphenidate differ from other treatments?
This treatment is unique because it combines behavioral classroom interventions, which help teachers manage ADHD symptoms in students, with methylphenidate, a medication that can improve focus and reduce disruptive behavior. The combination of these approaches may enhance both academic performance and classroom behavior more effectively than using either method alone.4681112
