Description
Prior to beginning this assignment, read the PSY650 Week Two Treatment Plan , Case 16: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Gorenstein and Comer (2014), and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders in Hamblin and Gross (2012).
Assess the evidence-based practices implemented in this case study by addressing the following issues:
- Explain the connection between each theoretical orientation used by Dr. Remoc and the four interventions utilized in the case.
- Consider Dr. Remoc’s utilization of two theoretical frameworks to guide her treatment plan. Assess the efficacy of integrating two orientations based on the information presented in the case study. Describe some potential problems with prescribing medication as the only treatment option for children with ADHD.
- Identify tasks and positive reinforcements that might be included in Billy’s token economy chart given the behavior issues described in the case. (There are articles in the recommended resources that may assist you in this portion of the assignment.)
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the four treatment interventions implemented by Dr. Remoc and support your statements with information from the case and two to three peer-reviewed articles from the Ashford University Library.
- Recommend three additional treatment interventions that would be appropriate in this case. Use information from the Hamblin and Gross “Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders” chapter to help support your recommendations. Justify your selections with information from the case.
The Case Analysis
- Must be 4 to 5 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.).
- Must include a separate title page with the following:
- Title of paper
- Student’s name
- Course name and number
- Instructor’s name
- Date submitted
- Must use at least two peer-reviewed sources from the Ashford University Library.
- Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. (Links to an external site.)
- Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Connection Between Theoretical Orientation and the Four Interventions
In the middle of the four interventions and theoretical orientation, the connection is
that all of them use over one approach to treating the disorder. It is believed by Dr. Remoc
that a grouping of interventions increases the chances of recovery for the child, for example,
using therapy of drug, and combining it with the treatment of behavioral therapy. Similarly,
four interventions include the grouping of multiple dissimilar alternative methods for treating
the client, rather than using one or any different approach, for example, the stimulating of the
drug, or either the behavioral treatment. It has been shown by the drug studies that when
taking the intoxicant, it increases the capacity of attention, leading to more controlled and
focused behavior. The program of behavior modification is the other connection, in which the
treatments of intervention are grounded on the behavior’s ABC module. In the model, the A
denotes antecedents and is sustained by its outcomes. The behavior itself is denoted by B, and
the behavior’s consequences are denoted by C. Behavior is seen provoked by several
antecedents, and is sustained by its outcomes. The program of behavior modification
increases the rewards for involving the substitute conducts under the same conditions of the
antecedent. Learning substitute conducts comprise over simply adjusting antecedents and
incentive. Certain skills need to be directly taught. To respond for incentives for
implementing it, first, there is a need for learning this skill. A sequence is followed by the
skills of...
