Parent Training for ADHD in Preschool Children

There is a need for effective psychosocial interventions for young children with ADHD. Evidence exists to support the efficacy of three current parenting programs in this area: the New Forest Parent Training (NFPT) program, the Positive Parenting Program (PPP), and the Incredible Years (IY) program. With regard to the NFPT program, there is strong evidence demonstrating its effectiveness for preschool children with ADHD; however, the evidence supporting the PPP in this population is less strong, and the effectiveness of the IY program has only been demonstrated in children with conduct problems and comorbid ADHD.
