About Dr. Rabiner

David Rabiner, Ph.D.

Research Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, Duke University

Dr. David Rabiner is a child psychologist and Research Professor Emeritus at Duke University, where he has spent his career studying ADHD and developing practical tools to help parents, educators, and clinicians support children with attention difficulties.

His research has focused on evidence-based approaches to ADHD evaluation and treatment, interventions to improve academic outcomes in children with attention challenges, and helping community pediatricians apply best practices in their work with ADHD patients. He has published more than 50 peer-reviewed scientific papers and received funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, the Centers for Disease Control, and the U.S. Department of Education. He is a former member of the Professional Advisory Board of CHADD.

Since 1997, Dr. Rabiner has published Attention Research Update, a free monthly newsletter that summarizes recent ADHD research for parents, educators, and health professionals. The newsletter now reaches over 20,000 subscribers.

The ADHD School Monitoring Program grew out of Dr. Rabiner's conviction that consistent, structured monitoring of school functioning is one of the most valuable things a parent can do for a child with ADHD — and that it should be simple enough for any family to do.
