Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a known disorder in which children have an attention deficit and hyperactivity. This disorder may interfere in executive function like memory that is necessary for people’s action. In this interventional study we are going to know if psychotherapy and behavioral treatment beside routine pharmacotherapy has an efficacy on working memory of children with ADHD. For finding the answer we will recruit 40 (20 male and 20 female) and divide them to two groups randomly (one group will take Pharmacotherapy without psychotherapy and the other pharmacotherapy plus psychotherapy). The results of pre and post test will be compared according to the aims of study.
