Abstract
We examined the effects of a behavioral intervention and methylphenida te (MPH) on inappropriate behavior and sleep disturbance displayed by a 6-year-old boy who had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperac tivity disorder. Results showed that the behavioral intervention was e ffective in reducing inappropriate behaviors to near-zero levels regar dless of the presence or absence of MPH.
