Practical Tips

• You can try a Daily Report Card approach where the classroom teacher provides brief daily behavioral feedback.
• Set the same target behaviors (e.g., task completion, following instructions) at home and school.
• Establish a regular communication channel (communication notebook, app, etc.) with the homeroom teacher.

⚠️ Limitation: Published in 2012 (13 years ago), updated evidence is needed. Generalization may be limited as a single RCT.
