Attention Deficit hyperactivity disorder refers to developmentally inappropriate degree of inattention, impulsiveness and hyperactivity. It was diagnosed in children between 6-12 years. Aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention package on behaviour modification of children with ADHD. A pre experimental pre-test and post-test research design was used. 100 ADHD children were selected from two special schools by total enumerative sampling technique. Pre-test and post-test behaviour of ADHD children was assessed by Modified Conner’s teachers rating scale. The comparison of pre-test and post-test was calculated by Wilcoxon singed rank test. Post-test mean score was 65.98 and ‘t’ test 20.175 was highly significant at p< 0.005.
