A number of 45 mothers with children with symptoms of self-inflicted mood disorder were selected from the counseling centers of Isfahan city by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group. The experimental group received one filial-therapy intervention and the experimental group received two attachment-oriented game therapy, and the control group did not receive any intervention.

Virtual reality (VR) games are among the rehabilitation strategies that, while effective, are attractive to the individual and facilitate and encourage proper movement. In this study, four VR games were designed and assessed to encourage the movements of the forearm and wrist complexs.

The games were designed using the leap motion device, a small non-tactile device with good spatial resolution. Cameras were responsible for detecting the depth and distance of the hand from the device, and the infrared sensors were responsible for detecting hand movements. In order to determine the level of attractiveness of the game for people with upper motor neuron disorders, three individuals aged 18 to 41 were randomly selected from among the people referred to the physiotherapy department of Al-Zahra Educational and Medical Center, Tehran, Iran.

The effectiveness of the games was confirmed by board members of department of physical therapy. Three games were applicable in the early stages of rehabilitation for all three participants. One game could not be used in the early stages of rehabilitation due to the complexity of the required movement.

The four designed games included the basic movements required for daily and self-care activities and seemed to appeal the younger users.

 Intellectual Disability (ID) is among the most frequent neurodevelopmental disorders and the common cause of children’s referral to psychologists and healthcare professionals. The birth and presence of a child with ID could considerably affect the family. A child with ID may threaten all family members’ wellbeing and mental health. Adding to their behavioral problems, it seems that numerous children with ID also experience problems concerning interacting with their parents, siblings, and peers. Children with IDs develop a poor relationship with their mothers. Besides, they encounter various behavioral problems and poor social relationships; accordingly, one of the methods to improve their conditions could be applying filial therapy. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of filial family therapy on the mother–child interactions and behavioral problems of children with ID.

 This was a quasi–experimental study with a pretest–posttest and a control group design. The study participants included 24 mothers of children with ID who were selected from elementary schools in the 2018–2019 academic year in Ahvaz City, Iran. The study subjects were selected by random sampling method. The study subjects were randomly divided into the experimental and control groups (n=12 mothers/group). The inclusion criteria of the study for the mothers were an age range of 31 to 43 years (minimum age of mothers was 31 years); the presence of ID in the child; an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of 55 to 70 for the child; the child’s attendance in public primary schools; motherschr('39') desire to participate in the research, and living with their spouses and children. The excluding criteria for the mothers included discontinuing cooperation with the study; their non–simultaneous participation in similar intervention programs, and absence from more than one intervention session. The experimental group participated in 12 filial therapy sessions (twice a week; each session lasted 60 minutes). This program was created by Abedi et al. (2018) based on the introduced model per the opinion of Landreth and Bratton (2005). However, the control group received no intervention. The study instruments used in the pretest and posttest phases were the Rutter Childrenchr('39')s Behavior Questionnaire (Rutter et al., 1970) and the Parent–Child Relationship Scale (Pianta, 1992). The one–way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used in SPSS for analyzing the collected data.

 The present study results suggested that filial therapy positively and significantly improved mother–child interactions and the aspects of conflict, closeness, dependence (p<0.001), and reduced behavioral problems in the studied children with ID (p<0.001). Based on ETA squared data, 59%, 65%, 63%, 64%, and 62% of the changes in conflict, closeness, dependence, mother–child interaction, and behavioral problems were respectively due to the participation of experimental group subjects in the filial therapy program.

 The present study results revealed that providing filial therapy could effectively improve mother–child interaction and reduce behavioral problems in children with ID. Thus, it is recommended that filial therapy for the mothers of children with IDs receives serious attention.
