Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the effects of animation therapy on the main symptoms of Attention Deficit - Hyperactivity Disorder; hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
