The condition typically presents in late preschool or early school age and frequently persists into adult hood; they are educable in the regular schools with special provisions. Objective: The objective of the study is to assess the pre and post-test levels of behaviour among children with ADHD in experimental and control group followed by effectiveness of art therapy on behaviour among children with ADHD. 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.
