Subjects were assessed by Barkley Deficits in Functioning Scale Children and Adolescents (BDEFS-CA). The intervention group received 11 training sessions (1 hour each session) when subjects were accompanied by their mothers. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA and MANCOVA by SPSS 19.
Results: Findings indicated that the intervention group had a significant different as compared to controls in terms of improved executive functions (p<0.001). Such a significance was observed acrossthe subscales of BDEFD including self-restraint, self-motivation, self-regulation of affect, self-organization and self-management to time.
Conclusion: Executive function training based on daily-life leads to improved executive functions in children with ADHD.
