Brain Plasticity Underlying Acquisition of New Organizational Skills in Children
November 6, 2023 updated by: NYU Langone Health
Organizational, time management and planning (OTMP) skills deficits are impairing features of developmental disorders, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), which compromise school performance and family relations.
The manualized Organizational Skills Training program (OST) was designed to target children's specific OTMP deficits.
However, the brain mechanisms of treatment-induced changes remain unknown.
The current study combines a training intervention (OST) with non-invasive MRI imaging in a pre-/post-design in a randomized two-arm (treatment vs. waitlist) trial to address this question.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Waitlist
|
Will undergo two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sessions separated by a 12 week wait period.
Will then undergo OST treatment

Change in parent Children's Organizational Skills Scales (COSS-P) total T-scores following OST intervention
Time Frame: Day 1
|
The Children's Organizational Skills Scale quantifies how children (ages 8-13) organize their time, materials, and actions to accomplish important tasks at home and school.
The Parent report consists of 66 questions, each using a 4-point Likert-type scale.
T-scores can range between 40 and 90
