This study investigated the effect of mandala coloring on the attention level of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Iran. This research was a quasi-experimental pre-post study (N = 38) with a control group. The results showed that mandala coloring statistically increased the attention level of children with ADHD both when compared to the control group and within the intervention group. Mandala coloring, as a complementary therapy, might be effective in improving attention in children with ADHD.
