Using a double-blind, randomized controlled design to investigate the therapeutic effects of interactive attention training for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder who are receiving conventional rehabilitation programs due to developmental delay.
A total of 30 children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder conducting conventional rehabilitation programs well be enrolled. The children are randomized into two groups, including study group with conventional rehabilitation programs and interactive attention training: 2 times per week, 15 min per session, with a total of 24 sessions in 3 months; and control group with conventional rehabilitation programs without interactive attention training. Therapeutic effects, including working memory, attention, functional performance, physical function, health-related quality of life will be evaluated at baseline, and 3 months and 6 months after the intervention. The evaluator and children will be blinded to the group's allocation during the whole course of the intervention.
