Background and objective: Although the use of computer programs to improve the performance of children with ADHD has gained significant popularity today, better results can be achieved by integrating these programs with family-oriented educational/therapeutic techniques; The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of the comprehensive family-oriented computer-aid program on improving the working memory of 6-9-year-old children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Methods: The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all 6-9-year-old children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who referred to Hasti and Parsa medical clinics in 1401-1402. Using available sampling method, 30 children were selected as the research sample and replaced in two groups using random method. The Persian version of the Wechsler Children's Intelligence Scale (2013) was the tool of this research. Finally, the research findings were analyzed using SPSS version 26 software and covariance test at the level of 0.05.
Results: Descriptive findings showed that the scores of the working memory dimensions of the experimental group have significantly increased compared to the scores of the control group. The result of covariance analysis showed that after removing the pre-test effect, the mean post-test scores of the two groups had a statistically significant difference (p<0.005).
Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of Yaran Yar Subsidy's comprehensive family program in increasing working memory, it can be said that this program is valid and can be used to increase the cognitive abilities and executive functions of these children.
Keywords: family-centered program of YaraneYar, working memory, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, children.
