Behavioral-based interventions have long been demonstrated to be effective for
addressing behavioral difficulties for children with ADHD; however, such interventions do not always include explicit procedures to develop self-regulated learning.

As more chronically ill children are reintegrated into school, school psychologists must be prepared to work with these children at school. Children
