Abstract
Adolescent athletes with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) experience unique challenges that impact their sport performance, such as making errors due to poor concentration. The current multiple-baseline across behaviors case trial (i.e., positive assertion and negative assertion) is an evaluation of The Optimum Performance Program in Sports in an adolescent athlete diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. Intervention skill sets were targeted sequentially in a virtual format to safeguard against COVID-19 contraction. A battery of psychological measures was administered at baseline, post-intervention, and 1-month follow-up. Results indicated negative and positive assertion skills improved, but only when targeted, and severity of ADHD and ODD symptom severity, general mental health symptoms, and factors interfering with sport performance decreased from pre- to post-intervention and these improvements were maintained at 1-month follow-up. Similar improvements occurred in relationships with coaches, teammates, and family. Treatment integrity and consumer satisfaction were high.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Studies seeks manuscripts that articulate various theoretical frameworks. All manuscripts will require an abstract and must adhere to the following format: (1) Theoretical and Research Basis, (2) Case Introduction, (3) Presenting Complaints, (4) History, (5) Assessment, (6) Case Conceptualization (this is where the clinician"s thinking and treatment selection come to the forefront), (7) Course of Treatment and Assessment of Progress, (8) Complicating Factors (including medical management), (9) Managed Care Considerations (if any), (10) Follow-up (how and how long), (11) Treatment Implications of the Case, (12) Recommendations to Clinicians and Students, and References.
