Abstract

This quantitative study measures the effectiveness of the Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) curriculum. HOPS is an intervention that focuses on helping students with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) improve their executive functioning skills. Ten students diagnosed with ADHD from a predominately white, suburban middle school participated. A pre/post survey was used to collect feedback on the effectiveness of the HOPS Curriculum from both students and teachers. Students participated in a sixteen-session focus on skills for homework recording, time management, assignment completion, and binder organization. After completion, both teachers and students completed the post-test survey. The results provide insights into the impact of the 16-week HOPS intervention.
