Detailed Summary
This study will test the efficacy of a systematic, multi-modal intervention protocol designed to improve sleep functioning and subsequent alleviation of daytime cognitive and behavioral difficulties among children diagnosed with ADHD. It is hypothesized that children receiving behavioral and (if necessary) pharmacologic interventions targeting sleep will display improvement on objective and subjective sleep measures, neuropsychological tests, and teacher-, and parent-ratings of ADHD behaviors.
