    Abstract

    The purpose of this article is to discuss alternative treatments other than drug therapy for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) in educational settings. There is an increasing body of knowledge that supports interventions for improving cognitive outcomes without the use of medication. The article explores the risks to ADHD children, shows the potential linkage between gifted children and ADHD, explores recent brain research, and examines various alternative treatment options. Information is presented on alternative treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapies, educational interventions, electroencephalograph (EEG) neuro-feedback, and diet.
