Conditions

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Brief summary

The investigators intent to recruit 80 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder families. The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder families had received executive function training one year before.They will be randomized to intervention group and control group using a block randomization design. The intervention group will participate in intensive executive function training immediately,while the control group will receive executive training after 3 months.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALintensive Executive function training

Children diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are randomized to the experimental condition(Executive Function training) or waiting group experimental:participants will receive 12 sessions of intensive executive function training weekly no intervention :waiting participants will not be treated with intensive executive function training and keep waiting for 12 weeks for comparison
