Methods and Materials: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with pretest-posttest and a control group. The statistic population consisted of children of 6 to 13 years of age with ADHD. A total of 64 children (32 subjects in each group) were selected through convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups of experimental and control. The research tool was the Multiple Intelligences Scale. The data were analyzed using ANCOVA.
Findings: The results of paired t-test showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of multiple intelligences scores of patients with ADHD in the posttest (P ≤ 0.05). The use of Inspiration software caused an increase in the multiple intelligences score of the experimental group compared to the control group in the posttest.
Background
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can affect learning in children. Consideration of individual differences is an important factor in the education of children with ADHD. Gardners theory of multiple intelligences is based on this principle. This study aimed to determine the effect of Inspiration software (a computer game) on changes in multiple intelligences in children with ADHD in Isfahan, Iran.Methods and Materials: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with pretest-posttest and a control group.

Conclusions
This study showed that Inspiration softeware can increase the multiple intelligences score of patients with ADHD, and thus, the use of this method in conjunction with other therapy methods is recommended.Keywords:
