Abstract
The purpose of this study
was to examine the effect of
a psychosocial intervention
program on the social and
emotional skills of a seven
year old child with
Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) syndrome. Prior to
the intervention program,
the child’s adjustment was
assessed using the
‘Questionnaire Interpersonal
and Intra-personal
Adjustment'. The boy,
hereafter referred to as N.,
was aggressive and presented
intense negativity feelings
against any activity used to
describe his relations
between himself and his
environment. N. had
participated in a
psychosocial intervention
program for four months and
afterwards he has displayed
significantly different
behavior, reduced aggression
and increased teamwork.
These changes were confirmed
by his teacher, mother and
special educator who all
completed the questionnaire
a second time and validated
its results.
Key words: Aggressive
and Negative behavior, ADHD,
