Summary

Previous research has shown how parental responses can affect ADHD symptoms by triggering dysfunctional cyclic processes. Therefore, it may be useful within rehabilitative treatments to include parent training (PT). Recent literature data have demonstrated the potential of using virtual reality in the rehabilitation of children with ADHD. No study has been conducted on the use of virtual reality (VS) within a PT program. It is possible to hypothesize that virtual reality, by providing a controlled environment can help the parent improve his or her ability to self-control and perceive the child's difficulties. This allows the parent's empathizing skills to be implemented and reinforces the educational techniques learned during the parent training intervention.

Conditions

  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

BEHAVIORAL

Parent training

Parent Training program according to "Ten steps of Barkley's program" plus two additional follow-up sessions. This will be conducted by a trained psychologist; each session will last approximately 60 minutes and will includes exercises, discussions and role-playing.

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Reality-assisted PT sessions

The experimental group will follow the same program of CG sample. Parent Training sessions will be conducted by a trained psychologist; each session will last approximately 60 minutes that include: * 40 minutes of as usual PT session, with exercises, discussions and role-playing. * 20 minutes of VR screen with which the parents may interact; VR screen will provides instructive, stimulating, interactive, and direct feedbacks exercises to enhance parenting strategies.
