Planet Love Xu, Reid, and Steckelberg (2002) reviewed research regarding the use of technology with students with ADHD. They found only two studies that evaluated the effects of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) for these students. While both of these investigations resulted in positive outcomes, too few studies have been conducted to reach definitive conclusions regarding the use of CAI with students with ADHD. With this caveat in mind, Xu and colleagues reviewed the characteristics of many CAI software packages and suggest that many of the recommended strategies for effective teaching of students with ADHD (and other students, for that matter) are often built into CAI. Thus, this software may be especially beneficial for students with ADHD.
