The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the family-oriented behavioral therapy program in reducing the severity of symptoms and parenting stress of parents of students with ADHD. The present research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the present study was made up of all parents and students with ADHD who were referred to education counseling centers in Tehran in 2022-2023. Among them, 30 parents of students with ADHD were selected in a targeted manner and randomly assigned to two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The research tools included Abidin's Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF, 1995) and Goyette et al's Conners' Parent Rating Scale (CPRS, 1978). The program based on family-oriented behavior therapy was implemented in 12 sessions of 90 minutes twice a week for the experimental group. while the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance with repeated measurements. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the groups in the post-test and follow-up of the severity of symptoms and parenting stress of parents (P<0.05), and the program based on family-oriented behavior therapy had a lasting effect in the follow-up period (P<0.05). As a result, the program based on family-oriented behavior therapy can be used as an efficient method in reducing the severity of symptoms and parenting stress of parents of students with ADHD.
