Abstract

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms are difficult to treat. As ADHD is naturally a disorder of attention and related executive functions, ATTENTION TRAINING (ATT) has been considered as a treatment for the disorder. Although there are few studies investigating the utility of ATT in the ADHD population, published studies provide support for ATT in reducing the symptoms of ADHD.Objectives: The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of training attention on ADHD symptoms in a group of preschool-aged children at risk for ADHD disorder.Methods: In this study, a group of 5-year-old children (n=30) with ADHD symptoms were assigned randomly to either a traininggroup who participated in 11 sessions of visual ATTENTION TRAINING based on PAY ATTENTION PROGRAM or a non-trained control group. Both versions of Child symptom inventory-4 (CSI-4) were employed to assess ADHD symptoms based on parent and teacher’s rating. Also the accuracy and the continuous performance of children were examined with Tolouse-Pierron test. The Assessment was performed in three phases: (1) before, (2) after, and (3) one month after the termination of training.Results: Results of the multivariate analysis of the covariance demonstrate that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the decline of attention deficit symptoms between two groups based on teacher’s rating at post-test. In addition, there was a significant decrease (P<0.05) on the scores of omission error of Toulose- Pieron test at post-test and follow up for the training group. There was no significant reduction in hyperactivity symptoms in two groups.Conclusions: It seems that the performance of children’s attention with ADHD improves by visual ATTENTION TRAINING.
