About

Under traditional rehabilitation programs, investigate the additional effects of individualized fairytales on preschool children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder with developmental delays.

Full description

Thirty preschool children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and developmental delays will be enrolled in regular traditional rehabilitation programs.

They will be randomized to the intervention group and control group. The participants in the intervention group will receive an additional 30 minutes per week for 12 sessions of individualized fairytales classes by a child and educational teacher for three months. The participants of both groups will continue to receive the traditional rehabilitation programs.

Therapeutic effects, including attention, cognitive function, vocabulary function, physical functional performance, and quality of life at baseline, will be evaluated after 12 weeks of treatment and three months after the treatment.

The evaluator will be blinded to the group's allocation during the whole course of the intervention.
