This book, by George DuPaul and Lee Kern, a school psychologist and
special educator respectively, is the first to describe
empirically-supported early intervention with children aged 2-5
years who have or are at risk for ADHD. The symptoms of
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often begin early
in life. In fact, many young children enter school with behavioral
and cognitive symptoms that put them at a significant disadvantage
compared with their typically-developing peers. Over the past
several decades, researchers, psychologists and educators have
devoted much time and effort to understanding and treating ADHD.
Yet only recently have these efforts begun to focus more closely on
the specific needs of preschool-aged children who are disruptive or
inattentive. The authors present a three-tiered model for
prevention and intervention that can be implemented at home or in
preschool settings. This promising model can be adjusted to the
degree of difficulty the child is experiencing and consists of
universal intervention strategies, small group skills instruction,
and assessment-based behavioral interventions. Lively case examples
drawn from the authors' clinical experience illustrate common
challenges of implementation. The authors also describe how to
foster children's early academic skills and promote their physical
safety, with the understanding that for children and families, the
goal is not just identifying and reducing symptoms, but also
encouraging success by enhancing family, social, and school-based
interactions. Young Children with ADHD presents a comprehensive and
timely program that is a milestone in the field of ADHD treatment.
