Summary

This study aims to see if a standard extended-release ADHD medication (methylphenidate) can improve specific thinking skills like attention and memory in children and teens who have both an intellectual disability and ADHD. Researchers will measure changes using a set of computer-based thinking tests. The goal is to understand if these tests are sensitive enough to detect medication-related improvements in this population.
