AB  - Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric
disorders. In the United States the incidence of the
disorder has been reported from 2-7% and Prevalence of
the disorder among Iranian children have been reported
between 3 and 6%. In a study on the function of the
frontal lobe and its relationship with eye movements
showed that children with attention deficit-hyperactivity
disorder have special problems in inhibition and control
eye movements. In this study eye tracking intervention is
used for improvement of sustain attention of attention
deficit hyper activity children. The 39 boys with ages
between 6-10 years are randomly selected. After that they
are matched in terms of intelligence with Wechsler test,
they divided into experimental and control group. Both
groups use of similar occupational therapy treatment but
experimental group also use eye tracking exercises both
group evaluated with Conner’s rating scale (parent
questionnaire), Continuous Performance Task (CPT-II)
and Test of Visual- Motor Skills-Revised (TVMS-R) in
pre and post-test. There was a significant difference in
mean scores of cognitive problems (F = 9/22), coping
behavior (F = 6.03) and hyperactivity (F = 9.77) between
the two groups in the post-test (p<0.05) and in the
continuous performance test scores, omission error
(F = 17.89), commission errors (F = 19.45) and reaction
time (F = 8.95) has been significant difference
between control and experimental groups. In other
words, educating pattern based on eye movement
tracking improved continuous performance test and
Conner&#146;s rating scale result significantly at post-test.
Based on the results of this study, it seems that
intervention based on eye movement tracking lead to
changes in levels of behavior. So, exercises that reinforce
the eye movement pattern cause to improvement of
cognitive function and behavioral aspect of this children.
