Abstract :
: The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness and comparison of neurofeedback, mindfulness, and therapy based on perceptual-motor exercises (SPARK) on the executive functions of affected children.
Method: This research is a quasi-experimental method with a control group and pre-test and post-test and follow-up scores (p <0.05), but there was no significant difference between post-test and follow-up scores (05 / 0 p>). Also, other findings showed that pruning neurofeedback therapy, mindfulness and perceptual motor therapy of Spark had the same effectiveness and there was no significant difference between them (p> 0.05).Result: Findings showed that there is a significant difference between pre-test scores and post-test and follow-up scores in the groups of neurofeedback, mindfulness and perceptual motor therapy of Spark (p <0.01, F = 52.99). There was no significant difference between post-test and follow-up scores (p> 0.05). Also, other findings showed that there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of neurofeedback, mindfulness and perceptual-motor spark treatments with the control group (p <0.01, F = 33.38), but this difference was not observed between the treatment groups ( 05/0 p>).Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it can be stated that using neurofeedback methods, mindfulness and spark motor perceptual exercises with the aim to targeting one dimension of ADHD with attention deficit can improve executive functions in these children
