Research suggest that attention skills play distinct roles in children's acquisition of mathematics. Despite a growing number of mathematics interventions in general, little research has been devoted to mathematics interventions for students with attention/hyperactivity problems (ADHD). Extant literature suggests lower benefits of mathematics interventions for students with ADHD symptoms. This study aimed at investigating the influence of ADHD on the effectiveness of a mathematics intervention. In a single-case research design, a total of N = 10 students in Grades 2 and 4 with varying ADHD profiles were observed and trained in an ABAB-design with a computer-cased mathematics intervention. Intervention and progress monitoring were administered twice a week. The intervention showed heterogenous effects ranging from no to substantial learning progress during the intervention phases. Hierarchical piecewise regression models revealed lower learning progress for students with all ADHD symptoms as well as isolated attention difficulties. However, students with isolated hyperactivity but no attention difficulties did not respond less to the intervention. As a conclusion, mathematics interventions are supposed to address students with attention deficits more explicitly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
