The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of language and behavioral
 interventions for students who are English language learners and who have symptoms of
 attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The main question it aims to answer is:
 
 - Which intervention is better for the students: the behavioral intervention, the language
 intervention, or a combination of the behavioral and language interventions?
 
 Participants will be asked to do the following:
 
 - Participants' parents and teachers will be asked to complete questionnaires about their
 behavior.
 
 - Participants will be asked to complete tests assessing language, cognitive, and academic
 abilities.
 
 - Members of the research team will complete classroom observations for the participating
 students.
 
 - Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: a school as usual group, a
 language group, a daily report card group, and a combined daily report card and language
 group.
 
 - If assigned to the language group, participants will receive an 18-week language
 intervention.
 
 - If assigned to the daily report card group, a behavioral consultant will work with
 participants' parents and teachers to set up a home-school behavior plan called a
 daily report card.
 
 - If assigned to the combined daily report card and language group, participants will
 receive both the language intervention and the daily report card.
 
 - If assigned to the school as usual group, participants will no study interventions.
 
 Researchers will compare the language group, the daily report card group, the combined
 language and daily report card group, and the school as usual group to see which group has
 the best language learning and classroom behavior at the end of the program.
