Summary/Abstract: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a pervasive condition that can negatively affect student behavior and academic performance. The link between impairment of executive function in individuals with ADHD and the need for training in self-regulation could provide the solution for effective school-based interventions. This review addresses the effectiveness of self-monitoring, organization training, and self-management interventions on symptoms of ADHD in the classroom. The studies analyzed include students in various models of support in elementary, middle, and high school. All interventions showed some level of success, with the inclusion of goal setting and parent or teacher involvement being key factors in how well the interventions maintained over time and generalized to academic performance. Limitations of the current studies include small sample size and insufficient data on each intervention across grade levels. Current research findings are discussed, and a direction for future research is recommended.
