and behavioural techniques to help children aged 6-12 with ADHD and

practically-focused approach; modular structure allows the
interventions to be selected and tailored according to the particular
age, ability and needs of the individual child

provides structural narrative while also teaching core skills in areas
such as keeping calm, planning, managing impulsivity and dealing with
anxiety

advice for using the approach in school, home and group contexts
