About this trial
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of The OutSMARTers program- an ADHD skills training group program for children aged 9-12 to customized individual counseling provided by a professional, The Kid Counseling Program. Approximately 100 children will be randomly assigned to either intervention or a small wait-list group who will after a five-week-waiting period receive either intervention. Following the intervention, parents, children, and teachers will evaluate the effects on communication skills, well-being, and emotional regulation.
