Although some group content is presented in a lecture format, a back-and-forth, question-and-answer presentation style is used whenever possible to encourage active student participation. For example, when discussing how ADHD may affect students academically, students are invited to share their own perspectives on how ADHD has influenced their academic functioning. Invariably, stories told by one student spark an immediate “That happened to me too” from other students who then share their war stories with one another, thereby contributing to group cohesion. During the behavioral strategies portion of each session, the group leader often opens the discussion by asking students what strategies are working well, or not so well. When a participant reports not having success with a particular strategy, the group leader often asks the other members of the group to give that participant direct feedback, emphasizing what he or she can do to use a particular strategy more effectively. A common example of this type of situation is when students show their planners to other group members, pointing out how their adaptations of the system (e.g., use of different colored pens, blocking out study times in various ways, stapling “to-do” lists directly into their planners) might also be of benefit to them. Similar strategies are used during the cognitive therapy portion of treatment, during which a whiteboard is used as a visual aid to guide students through thought exercises (e.g., completing thought records challengingmaladaptive thoughts).
