Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT) and Mind- Body Therapy (MBT) on ADHD symptoms in children with attention deficit- hyperactivity disorder. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. 30 children were selected with aged 7-12 years who were diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder according to DSM-5 criteria from counseling and psychotherapy centers in Tabriz in 2019- 2020, and were randomly divided into experimental groups. IVA test was performed as a pre-test after sample selection and random placement of individuals in experimental groups. Each group received intervention methods separately and then performed a post-test (IVA) to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention methods. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the two educational-therapeutic methods have different and significant effects on the improvement of ADHD symptoms.
