Abstract

Parent training programs are an important component of a multi-modal approach to behaviour management of A-D/HD children. The efficacy of parent training programs in the management of behaviours exhibited by A-D/HD children is reviewed. Positive outcomes for parent self-esteem, understanding of A-D/HD, anD lower parent stress levels are reported, along with increased compliance by, and improved self-esteem of, A-D/HD children.
