Summary

The study targets children with diagnosed ADHD and aims to (1) develop a social virtual reality based (SocVR) intervention and (2) investigate its effects on improving the social skills and executive functioning of inhibitions, emotional control and attention of the children compared to traditional social skills training.

The study will be a three-arm parallel randomised controlled trial comparing the effects of a SocVR with traditional social skills training on social skills and executive functioning of children with ADHD. The study period is 2 months, including 4 weeks (2 sessions per week) of intervention and control, followed by a 4-week follow-up. The participants will be assessed at three time points (i.e. at baseline, 4 weeks and 4 weeks follow-up).

The guidelines of Whitehead et al. (2016) suggested that recommended that at least 16 subjects per group for medium effect size in pilot RCT and 15% attrition over time can be expected. Thus, the minimum sample size per group was 20. A total of 60 participants will be recruited in which 20 participants in the social VR group, 20 in the traditional social skills group and 20 in the waitlist control group.
