Twenty of them were selected as the sample using convenient sampling method and randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups (10 children in each group). The data collection tools were scale of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Sprafkin & Gadow, 1984) and diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders--IV (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).
