Objective This research aimed to develop the prototype of Satir model in parents group of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) children.

Materials and methods This research and development comprised the prototype which were developed following to the innovative knowledge and technology

The effects were studied by using the self-esteem inventory, family inventory and childrenûs symptom questionnaire. Then the comparison between pretest and posttest scores was proceeded, as well as the comparison between the two groups by Mann-Whitney U test.
