Previous research has shown how parental responses can affect ADHD symptoms by triggering dysfunctional cyclic processes. Therefore, it may be useful within rehabilitative treatments to include parent training (PT). Recent literature data have demonstrated the potential of using virtual reality in the rehabilitation of children with ADHD. No study has been conducted on the use of virtual reality (VS) within a PT program. It is possible to hypothesize that virtual reality, by providing a controlled environment can help the parent improve his or her ability to self-control and perceive the child's difficulties. This allows the parent's empathizing skills to be implemented and reinforces the educational techniques learned during the parent training intervention.

Primary | Parenting Stress Index | Parenting Stress Index is for the early identification of characteristics that may impair normal child development, such as emotional and behavioral disorders and parents who are at risk of living dysfunctionally in their role; Parenting Stress Index has 36 items based on a five-point Likert scale where each value corresponds to a specific statement (1 = completely disagree; 5 = completely agree). The subscale scores range from 12 to 60, and the Total Stress score ranges from 36 to 180. The higher the score, the greater the level of parental stress. | Baseline | |

Primary | Conners Rating Scale | Conners: a questionnaire that asks about things like behavior, work or schoolwork, and social life. The Conners-3 Parent Rating Scale (Conners-3-P) is the most recent revision to a widely used behavior rating scale system. The Conners-3-P includes 5 empirically derived scales: Hyperactivity/Impulsivity, Executive Functioning, Learning Problems, Aggression, and Peer Relations.Respondents are asked to rate behavior that has been problematic over the preceding month using a four-point Likert scale labeled with both levels of appropriateness (e.g., "Not true at all" = 0), and frequency (e.g., "Very frequent" = 3). | Baseline | |
