First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 16-session program called HOPS can help 6th to 8th graders with ADHD improve their organization, time management, and planning skills. Researchers are working with 240 students and their teachers in real school settings to see if the program works outside of a research lab. The goal is to give schools a simple, effective tool to support students who struggle with homework and staying organized.
