To properly study a case from diagnosis to completion would encompass a minimum of thirty years. Effects of treatment are unknown due to lack of comprehensive studies. This leaves parents of AIS patients at the mercy of doctors and orthopedists who themselves have not

This study gauged educational outcomes from a recently established collaborative school–home intervention (Collaborative Life Skills Program) for children who possess attention and behavior problems. The researchers’ aim was to expand on previous studies by contrasting pre- and post treatment results using a larger sample of schools and Licensed Support Practioners (LSPs). In addition, they evaluated the impact on a larger gamut of educational outcomes such as, report card grades, academic achievement

Parents and teachers report these observations subjectively, so there may be some discrepancy in the actual behaviors observed (Gupta & Kar, 2010). For a diagnosis of ADHD a child must show at least six of nine symptoms described in the DSM-IV (Gupta & Kar, 2010).

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis which states: children whose parents promote healthy lifestyle choices in the home are less likely to suffer from obesity than those whose parents do not. A hypothesis is defined by Babbie (2013) as “A specified testable expectation about empirical reality that follows from a more general proposition; more generally, an expectation about the nature of things derived from a theory” (p. 33). This thesis will be tested by observing the independent
