A multiple baseline design was employed for this study to assess the effects of using a self-monitoring procedure to enhance on-task behavior of students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder who were already receiving pharmacological treatment. Three male subjects in a public school, ages 8 to 11, were selected for the study because of their frequent off-task and inattentive behaviors in the classroom, despite their receiving psychostimulant medication. The subjects were classified as having emotional/behavioral disorders according to criteria established by the state of georgia. Intervention involved training in self-monitoring procedures. A functional relationship was established between independent and dependent variables: all 3 subjects demonstrated an increase in on-task behavior when self-monitoring was utilized. A combination of pharmacological intervention and self-monitoring procedures enhanced the students' on-task behavior.
