%X Purpose: To investigate the effect of group activities on self-perception of children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. Material and Methods: Six individual diagnosed with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, who were studying in 3rd and 4th grade, and taking medication, were included. The self-perception was assessed using the Piers-Harris Self-Concept Scale. Individual interviews were held with children to develop group activities according to their interests. Group activity was conducted with 6 children for 6 weeks, 1 hour per week. The Piers-Harris Self-Concept Scale was reapplied and the effect of the intervention was examined after the intervention. The results were analysed statistically. Results: All children participated in the study were boys. The average age was 9,33 ¡À 0,51. There was no statistically significant difference in the areas of happiness, anxiety, popularity, behavior and conformity, physical appearance, mental and school status of the Piers-Harris Self-Concept Scale between the pre and post assessments (p> 0,05). Conclusion: Although there were clinical improvements in self-perception, this difference was not reflected on the results. We think that group activities applied to children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder need long term follow-up studies supported by family self-awareness trainings
