Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct disorder are the most common disorders seen in children. This study was carried out to ascertain the effect of training of life skills on the academic performance of the children with ADHD and conduct disorder. One hundred fifty children of ADHD and conduct disorder from Delhi state in India were given life skill training through the art of storytelling. Pre test –intervention- post test design was used in this study. Appropriate stories from the module of panchatantra were selected to teach life skills. Academic performance rating scale was administered both before and after training to check the academic performance. Post test was conducted after 6 months of training. After life skill training (posttest), there was a significant improvement in the academic performance of children with ADHD and conduct disorder. The results of the posttest showed that the intervention was equally effective for male and female children. Life skill training through the art of storytelling (use of panchtantra stories) proved beneficial. This study showed that life skills training (through the art of storytelling) may be imparted as a complementary intervention for improving academic performance of children with ADHD and conduct disorder.
