- Abstract
Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders of childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with ADHD commonly lack social and academic skills. Being aggressive, overly talkative, domineering, impulsive, immature and highly tempered will cause academic problems, such as lower academic achievement, an elevated incidence of learning difficulties, high incidence of remedial and retention, failing grade, and school drop-out. These problems may be a by-product of primary symptoms of inattentiveness and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity. Social skill is a significant indicator of a student's success in and out of the classroom. Today, the number of children with ADHD in the world and particularly in Indonesia continues to increase. The evidence-based intervention for school-aged children with ADHD is behaviour management. Behaviour management program involves positive reinforcement, token reinforcement, contingency contracting, response cost, time out for positive reinforcement and daily report card.
