The Effects of Methylphenidate in the Classroom: What Dosage, for Which Children, for What Problems?

Northup, John; Gulley, Veronica; Edwards, Stephanie; Fountain, Laura

School Psychology Quarterly, v16 n3 p303-23 Fall 2001

Single-case analyses were conducted of the dosage and time-course effects of methylphenidate on disruptive classroom behavior, math and reading performance, and social engagement. In contrast to previous studies, clear individual differences were demonstrated: across children; across academic, behavioral, and social domains of functioning; for dose-response effects; and in onset and duration of effects.
