Abstract
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common childhood disorders that has attracted the attention of psychologists and psychiatrists. The main features of this disorder include: inability to control motor behavior, learning deficits, aggression, academic problems, sedation,
and motor dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of visual perception training on depth perception in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of nature and method of quasi-experimental post-test with control group. For this purpose, 5 boy children referred to the clinic in the age range of 6 to 12 years were selected and available based on research objectives, Rats were randomly divided into two groups. The findings of this study showed that a period of visual perception training had a significant effect on reducing the symptoms of ADHD. The covariance analysis test was used to find the differences between the groups. The results showed that there was a significant difference in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in comparison with the control group in reducing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (P≤0/05). Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that visual perception training can be a useful method in reducing symptoms of ADHD or at least one of these methods and in combination with other methods used in the treatment of ADHD children.
