Abstract

Generally, children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are easily distracted and display lower selective attention abilities by numerous activities not related to the task at hand. This can cause various problems in their academic and social lifestyle. These attracted researchers into conducting a research aimed at designing a Letter Visual Search (LetViS) programs for children diagnosed with hearing deficiency. The first study aims at designing selective attention LetViS software using computer programs and psycho-education approaches. An exploratory research method was used in obtaining data. The designed software is a series of repetitive activities that require children to respond to target stimuli, while ignoring the non-target ones. The second study is a selective attention trail program that uses a time design series with a purposive sampling method. D2 test was used to measure the selective attention, while data was analysed using visual inspection techniques. The results of data analysis in Study II show that the LetViS program can be used to enhance the selective attention syndrome in children with ADD. Increasing selective attention to foster children’s self-awareness in changing less effective behaviour will be more effective in maintaining attention to the target stimulus.
