First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new program called PEAR that helps parents and teachers work together to manage ADHD and disruptive behavior in preschool children aged 2-5. The program adds extra support to a proven behavior tool called the Daily Report Card. Researchers want to see if PEAR improves how often families and teachers use behavior strategies. The study involves 48 parents and teachers and will also help plan a larger future trial.
