Use of the Self-Monitoring Strategy among Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This article provides a systematic review of self-monitoring studies published between 2000 and 2016 in order to investigate the effectiveness of implementing a self-monitoring strategy to improve the outcomes of students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).  A total of nine articles and dissertations were located and reviewed.  The findings revealed that most of the students with ADHD in these studies showed improvement in their on-task behavior and academic outcomes after participating in a self-monitoring intervention.  Future studies should be conducted to confirm the studies’ findings outlined here.
