multimodal interventions

This Framework adresses the experiences and vision of the project partners and defines the general background needed to develop both the WHAAM application and the online services. It does not intend to describe definitively ADHD, or discuss the different models developed to explain how ADHD can function, or its causes and consequences. A lot of approaches have been developed to treat ADHD in the course of time, and many manuals and web sites are able to provide excellent resources on these topics. This FW was intended as a work instrument drawn from the Partners experiences, stories and instances in which the use of technology has been introduced and used to both inspire and develop the subsequent activities of the projects.

This booklet provides information about interventions towards addressing most common difficulties of students with ADHD. Besides, it describes the process of developing na App aimed at putting all together (parents, teachers and other professionals) in the assessment and intervention with their child with ADHD.

The WHAAM (Web Health Application for Adhd Monitoring) project is aimed at diffusing a new culture in the ADHD intervention. The rationale is that, technology can promote a better networking among people involved in the care of an ADHD child: parents, teachers and health professionals (HPs). During the project, different outcomes have been released, including a theoretical Framework (CDFw), an application to support multimodal interventions for ADHD subjects, a training course for parents, teachers and HPs to familiarize them with the cognitive-behavioural techniques and the use of the Web App created. Finally, a training module have been designed, aimed at bringing the theme of ADHD and the use of Web App into University curricula.
