Emotional dysfunction in children with ADHD jeopardizes their adaptation. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of integrated training of executive functions hot and cool on emotion regulation in children with ADHD. This research was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest control group design. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all 9 to 12-year-old children with ADHD in Rasht who referred to medical centers in 2021. The sample consisted of 26 children with ADHD who were selected through convenience sampling. They were then equally assigned to two control and experiment groups. The children in the experimental group and their mothers each received the intervention program in 10 sessions. The instruments used included demographic questionnaire, canners rate scale, emotion regulation checklist. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. the results showed that Integrated Training of Executive Functions improved emotion regulation in children with ADHD. The combination of training in hot and cold executive actions and intervention at the child and parent levels played a role in promoting the regulation of emotions in children with this disorder; Therefore, the use of multidimensional interventions is recommended.
