Abstract:
The Challenging Horizons Program (CHP) consists of a set of school-based procedures designed to improve student learning and behavior. Many of the CHP procedures were developed in a summer camp for adolescents with ADHD directed by Drs. Bradley Smith, Steven Evans, and Brooke Molina (Smith et al., 1998). Subsequently, Dr. Evans developed an after-school program at James Madison University. This program, which we call the “primary counselor model,” has been implemented as a service-learning program for the past several years at James Madison University under the direction of Dr. Evans (Evans et al., 2005c). This article describes the CHP and the dissemination of this manualized intervention to two other cities.Keywords:
