The sample included (5) boys, 5.3 to 6.11 years old, who were purposively selected from a private kindergarten in Al-Khobar, after they have been diagnosed with learning disabilities and ADHD. The (A-B-A-B) withdrawal design of single case experimental designs was used to implement Brain Gym® as an intervention. Data were collected by observing the behaviors of the sample within the four Phases, which took two months, using an observation card designed by the researcher. Trend Analysis was used to compare the frequency and duration means of the behaviors. The results indicated that Brain Gym® movements showed more positive effects on inattentive symptoms compared to hyperactivity symptoms. After using (Friedman) test and (Bonferroni), only a few significant results were obtained.
