THE PLAY AS AN ALTERNATIVE THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION FOR CHILDREN WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER

Very often, work with individuals with hyperactivity takes the form of social modeling, prompting, play therapy interventions, shaping, practice through repetition, behavioral rehearsal, focused instruction, reinforcement and homework assignments.

All this motivates the author to raise the question of the importance of play as an alternative therapeutic intervention for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder through this article.
