These subjects had a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) on the basis of DSM-IV criteria and Conners Parents and Teachers Scale. In the pre- treatment phase, the Conners Parents and Teachers Scale was administered to all the children. The experimental group was treated with Dela Cato neuropsychological method. Findings: After the treatment phase, which took four months, the Conners Scale was once again administered to both groups. The data was analysed  through central indices.A t-test compared the means between the correlated groups. The results demonstrated a significant difference between the behavior of ADHD children and that of the control group. SP - 73 EP - 78 AU - Momeni, F. AU - Bahrami, H.
