Research Summary

Literature review revealed that CBC/TAPP had positive effects on social skills, academics, and problem behaviors. The CBC also improved teacher problem solving and communication with parents. Follow-up research to these initial findings revealed that the gains made for students and teachers in the CBC group were maintained. For students with ADHD, the CBC group had initial effects, however, those gains were not maintained.
