Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Conners Parents Rating Scale-Revised Long Form
Conners Parents Rating Scale-Revised Long Form is a 4-points-Likert-scale, consisting of 80 items. The given items are expressions defining the daily life behaviors of children at home setting due to ADHD. Parents mark a score between 0 (means "expression never suits my child's behavior) and 3 (means expression suits my child's behavior completely). It comprises of 14 behavioral categories: Oppositional, Cognitive Problems/Inattention, Hyperactivity, Anxious/Shy, Perfectionism, Social Problems, Psychosomatic, ADHD Index, Restless/Impulsive, Emotional Lability, Global Index, DSM-IV Inattention, DSM-IV Hyperactive/Impulsive, and DSM-IV Total. A higher score indicates more severe symptoms.

Conners Teachers Rating Scale-Revised Long
Conners Teachers Rating Scale-Revised Long is a 4-points-Likert-scale, consisting of 59 items. The items define the school life behaviors of children due to ADHD. The child's teacher marks a score from 0 (means "expression never suits child's behavior) to 3 (means expression suits child's behavior completely). It comprises 14 behavioral categories: Oppositional, Cognitive Problems/Inattention, Hyperactivity, Anxious/Shy, Perfectionism, Social Problems, ADHD Index - Inattention, ADHD Index - Hyperactivity, Restless/Impulsive, Emotional Lability, Global Index, DSM-IV Inattention, DSM-IV Hyperactive/Impulsive, and DSM-IV Total.

the Scales for Diagnosing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - Home Rating Scale
the Scales for Diagnosing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - Home Rating Scale measures the levels of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention from the parent's perspective. It is a 4-points-Likert-scale, consisting of 40 items. Each item describes a specific behavior correlated with ADHD and parents scores items due to the frequency of behavior described by the item, considering the behaviors of the child at home setting. A high score means high frequency and more severe symptoms.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to determine the effects of animation therapy on the main symptoms of Attention Deficit - Hyperactivity Disorder; hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity.
Detailed Description
Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most frequent childhood disorder, that is characterized with three main symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Animation Therapy is the use of a stop-motion movie production process for therapeutic purposes. This new approach may have promising effect on attention because of its flow effect. Also, there is only one study on the effectiveness of Animation Therapy in literature. This study is planned to investigate the effects of Animation Therapy on the main symptoms of the disorder.
