An interventional study of Central Executive Training (CET) and Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) in ADHD, sponsored by Florida State University. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 8 Years to 12 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-07.
Sponsored by Florida State University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The goal of the current project is to combine two evidence- based treatments for school-aged children with ADHD: Central Executive Training (CET) and Behavioral Parent Training (BPT). CET is a computerized training intervention that improves ADHD symptoms and academic functioning by improving children's working memory abilities. BPT is a therapeutic intervention that improves family functioning and child oppositional-defiant (ODD) symptoms by changing parenting behaviors. Their combined use is expected to provide complementary and additive benefits, particularly if CET is delivered before BPT.
