Intensive Executive Function Training

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The investigators intent to recruit 80 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder families. The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder families had received executive function training one year before.They will be randomized to intervention group and control group using a block randomization design. The intervention group will participate in intensive executive function training immediately,while the control group will receive executive training after 3 months.

| Experimental: Executive function training<br>the experimental group will receive 12 sessions of intensive Executive function training weekly immediately | Behavioral: intensive Executive function training<br>* 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<br>|
| Other: the waitlist group<br>the waitlist group will wait 12 weeks before receiving intensive executive function training for comparison. | Behavioral: intensive Executive function training<br>* 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<br>|
