Hospital Tested cognitive
Behavior Therapy
The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto tested cognitive
behavior therapy on 25, 7-13 year-olds. All received therapy,
and half received additional instruction in problem solving.
The parents of the boys receiving problem solving instruction
reported the biggest improvement in their children’s behavior.
In addition, psychological tests showed an improvement in
the boy’s self-esteem. One conclusion was drug treatment should
be a last resort for hyperactive children. (Newspaper report,
June 24, 1992).

Judson School Makes
Many Changes
Judson School, in Scottsdale, Arizona, has made many changes
this last year to make their academic curriculum more experiential.
Analysis of student performance is positive. A key component
has been for each student to be tested at the beginning of
the year for learning style, and then schedule the students
where they can use their learning style to best advantage.
A few Special Purpose Schools are starting to consider sending
some graduates to Judson to finish High School when the student
needs more support than home or a more traditional school
can offer.

School in Mayer, Arizona. Peter Alford will be leaving the
