Abstract
Attention deficits in children lead to diverse impairments in their lives and families and call for specialized support services for them and their parents. The “Child ViReal Support Program” is a multilevel intervention program consisting of child and parent training sessions. The child training (16 sessions) utilizes the potential of virtual reality (VR) technology for attention training and combines cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT) to enhance behavioral and emotional self-regulation skills. During the parent training (8 sessions), parents are trained in techniques for behavior modification (BPT) and for the enhancement of their child’s cognitive functions. A randomized controlled trial study using a cross-over design with 16 children aged 9-12 years old and their parents was implemented to evaluate the program’s efficacy. The intervention was assessed four times using computerized cognitive assessments and questionnaires. The study findings indicate improvements across various domains for children and their parents, highlighting positive changes resulting from the intervention. The 'Child ViReal Support Program' integrates the strengths of multiple approaches such as BPT, CBT and VR technology aiming to address both children's and parents' needs in families affected by attention deficits and/or ADHD.
