Methodology: A quasi experimental design, two group pre-test and post-test approach was adopted. Children who are in the age group between 6 years to 12 years, out of 60 samples 30 experimental and 30 control group. Results: The study result showed that the mean value of pre-test and posttest level of motor activity was 34.63 (S.D=9.60) and 28.97 (S.D=8.90) in experimental group. The overall independent „t? and paired „t? value reveals that there is statistically significant in Art Therapy on behaviour of Children with ADHD for experimental and Control Group at the level of P<0.001.
