The Ecological Treatment of Hyperkinesis.

Williamson, Gary A.; And Others

Psychology in the Schools, v17 n2 p249-56 Apr 1980

A model of hyperkinesis is introduced based on an ecological conception. The antecedents of hyperkinetic behavior are provided by a child's family, academic, and physiologic environments. These factors influence cognitive processes of the child. Effective treatment is multimodal and can involve the child, family, and school. (Author)
