Experimental: Executive function training the experimental group will receive 12 sessions of intensive Executive function training weekly immediately |
Behavioral: intensive Executive function training
Children diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are randomized to the experimental condition(Executive Function training) or waiting group experimental:participants will receive 12 sessions of intensive executive function training weekly no intervention :waiting participants will not be treated with intensive executive function training and keep waiting for 12 weeks for comparison
|
Other: the waitlist group the waitlist group will wait 12 weeks before receiving intensive executive function training for comparison. |
