| Abstract | Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of a programme enhancing the executive functioning of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder symptoms. Method: A total of 33 primary school students (29 boys and 4 girls) completed sensory and cognitive assessments one-month before the programme, before the start of the training, immediately after the completion of the training, and one-month after the end of training programme. Their parents were also invited to fill in rating forms to assess their children’s executive skills and social behavioral functions. Results: Statistically significant intervention effects were found in sensory and cognitive components while positive signs of improvement on children’s behaviors and social-emotional responses were shown. Conclusion: The EASE programme was found effective in enhancing the executive function of primary school students with ADHD at sensory and cognitive levels. Strengths and future direction of the programme were discussed.
