Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate effectiveness of perceptual- motor tasks on visual and auditory attention of children with ADHD. In this study 20 male students aged 9-11 years, were selected randomly by teacher form of Child Symptom Inventory-4 (CSI-4) from Karaj’s primary schools. Participants were assigned to 2 groups (experimental and control group). Motor group (n=10) received perceptual- motor practices for 10 sessions, 60 minutes per session. The control group didn’t receive any intervention. Before and after training all participants were assessed with continuous performance test (CPT). Multiple Anova were used to analyze the data. Results showed significant improvement in visual and auditory attention performance in experimental group (P<0.05); so attention performance of children with ADHD will improve with perceptual-motor practices.
