Summary
This study tested an online program called Teacher Help, designed to train teachers in evidence-based strategies for students with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or learning disabilities. Teachers worked through six online sessions with support from school psychologists. The goal was to see if the program improved student behavior and quality of life. The study was terminated early and included only 34 participants, so results are limited.
