Innovations in Practice: A pilot randomized controlled trial comparing computer‐assisted cognitive rehabilitation, stimulant medication, and an active control in the treatment of ADHD
ConclusionsImmediately after interventions, CACR improved certain simple executive functions (EFs) as much as active stimulant medication. On complex EFs, CACR was superior to active stimulant medication and PCACR. CACR reduced behavioral symptoms of ADHD more than active stimulant medication. However, at 3‐month follow‐up, maintenance of the CACR gains was weak. (Source: Child and Adolescent Mental Health)

Editorial Perspective: The new Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice—an opportunity for school mental health services?
Abstract
The 2014 English Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice, a policy framework for delivery of a range of services including Schools Mental Health Services (SMHS), is considered in the context of international research on the delivery of mental health services in schools.

A second theme raised by these papers is the importance of understanding the mechanisms underlying the development of mental health problems in y...
