Abstract

This study aims to verify the effectiveness of a suggested program with small games in reducing symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and impulsivity in primary school children. The study sample consisted of (12) students, their ages (7-12 years). In the light of the results obtained, it was proved that the proposed program is effective in increasing attention, reducing impulsiveness, and excessive movement among educated students by recording statistically significant differences confirmed by the calculated (T_cal) and tabular (T_th) values.
