Brain Plasticity Underlying Acquisition of New Organizational Skills in Children
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Organizational Skills Training for ADHD and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 59 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Organizational, time management and planning (OTMP) skills deficits are impairing features of developmental disorders, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), which compromise school performance and family relations. The manualized Organizational Skills Training program (OST) was designed to target children's specific OTMP deficits. However, the brain mechanisms of treatment-induced changes remain unknown. The current study combines a training intervention (OST) with non-invasive MRI imaging in a pre-/post-design in a randomized two-arm (treatment vs. waitlist) trial to address this question.

Timeline
Interventions
OST targets three core organizational skills domains - Tracking Assignments, Managing Materials and Time Management - in a program consisting of sessions over 12 weeks, each training lasting about 1 hour, and corresponding 30-60 minute weekly review sessions with the parent and the child, 2-3 days following each training session.
