Method: Twenty-nine 4- and 5-year-old children and their parents participated in separate group sessions (3-5 children\/group). Child groups were introduced games designed to enhance inhibitory control, working memory, attention, visuospatial abilities, planning, and motor skills. Parent groups were encouraged playing these games with their children at least 30 to 45 min\/day and taught strategies for scaffolding difficulty levels and dealing with obstacles to daily playing. Results: Parent ratings and session attendance indicated considerable satisfaction with the program. Parent ( p &lt; .001) and teacher ( p = .003) ratings on the ADHD-Rating Scale\u2013IV (ADHD-RS-IV) indicated significant improvement in ADHD severity from pre- to post-treatment, which persisted 3 months later. Conclusion: This play-based intervention for preschoolers with ADHD is readily implemented at home. Preliminary evidence suggests efficacy beyond the termination of active treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1087054711435681","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,6]],"date-time":"2012-03-06T01:11:30Z","timestamp":1330996290000},"page":"711-721","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":82,"title":["Training Executive, Attention, and Motor Skills"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Jeffrey M.","family":"Halperin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Queens College, City University of New York, Flushing, USA"},{"name":"The Graduate School and University Center, CUNY, NY, USA"},{"name":"The Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David J.","family":"Marks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne-Claude V.","family":"Bedard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anil","family":"Chacko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queens College, City University of New York, Flushing, USA"},{"name":"The Graduate School and University Center, CUNY, NY, USA"},{"name":"The Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jocelyn T.","family":"Curchack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queens College, City University of New York, Flushing, USA"},{"name":"The Graduate School and University Center, CUNY, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carol A.","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queens College, City University of New York, Flushing, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dione M.","family":"Healey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The New York University Child Study Center, Lake Success, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1087054711435681","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/cap.2007.0068"},{"key":"bibr2-1087054711435681","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1994","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr3-1087054711435681","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"2000","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr4-1087054711435681","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00916320"},{"key":"bibr5-1087054711435681","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0021-843X.111.2.279"},{"key":"bibr6-1087054711435681","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15374416.2010.517162"},{"key":"bibr7-1087054711435681","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroscience.2005.03.026"},{"key":"bibr8-1087054711435681","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1020807613155"},{"key":"bibr9-1087054711435681","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-199703000-00016"},{"key":"bibr10-1087054711435681","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.14.1740"},{"key":"bibr11-1087054711435681","unstructured":"Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University.
