Functional analyses revealed that peer attention was one variable maintaining the off‐task behavior exhibited by 3 students with a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Peer‐mediated reinforcement plus prompting was then used to reduce off‐task behavior in a simulated classroom environment. Implications for future applications of this procedure with children diagnosed with ADHD are discussed.
