Overview
Brief Summary
This is a randomized controlled study examining the effect of telerehabilitation on fine motor performance and handwriting difficulties experienced by children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Detailed Description
It is planned that 40 children between the ages of 6-8 diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder and their families will participate voluntarily. An informed consent form, BOT-2 and Minnesota Handwriting Test will be sent to volunteer participants via e-mail. An evaluation session on Zoom application will be held for each participant with the participation of the occupational therapist, child and family. After the evaluation, the participants will be randomized and allocated to study and control groups. Fine motor skills training will be given to the study group 3 sessions a week. The training will be given on the Zoom application and the duration is 8 weeks. At the end of 8 weeks, the evaluation will be done again with BOT-2 and Minnesota Handwriting Test. The control group will be evaluated with BOT-2 and Minnesota Handwriting Test for the second time after waiting 8 weeks and will receive fine motor skills training.
