 * < Setting ||< Japan
 * < Initiating Event ||< Children struggling with paying attention in school, outburts, lack of social skills with peers ||
 * < Internal Response ||< Medication is less favorable than psychosocial treatment. Medication is the last choice when other methods fail. Other methods include: counseling, educational interventention, under care of Child Psychiatrist or Neurologist. To be diagnosed, children must be intensely observed at home and school. Children must be 6-18 years old to be treated with medicine. People 18+ are not allowed to be medicated for ADHD. Many standard medications are not available in Japan. Some are also illegal, such as Ritalin, in treating ADHD. ||
 * < Goal ||< Improve children's attention deficits and social skills through educational intervententions, such as a smaller classroom environment, counseling, etc. ||
 * < Consequence ||< ||
 * < Resolution ||< In most children, when non-medication interventions are used (such as a point system, daily report card, positive reinforcement, time out) children's behavior will improve. ||
