About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness of Cognitive-Functional Remote Group intervention (Cog-Fun RG).
The main questions of this study are 1. will participants demonstrate improvements in their executive functioning and quality of life after receiving the intervention, compared to waitlist controls. In addition, the investigators will examine if the waitlist group will demonstrate similar gains in these outcomes after receiving the same intervention.

the investigators will compare between the intervention group to the waiting list group to examine the effect of the intervention.
The participants will be allocated into two groups: an intervention group and a waiting list group.
The intervention group will receive the the Cog-Fun RG intervention, which includes 21 weekly group sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. the participants will be required to complete questionnaires at several time points: pre-post the intervention, as well as three months, six months, and one year after the intervention.
The waiting list controls will be required to complete questionnaires at several time points: pre-post waiting period, and then after the intervention, as well as three months, six months, and one year after the intervention.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The adult ADHD quality of life scale
Questionnaire with 29 questions relating to productivity, life outlook, relationships and psychological health. each question is rated on a 5 point scale. Raw scores are transformed to a 1-100 scale. higher scores indicate higher quality of life. The assessment will be conducted at baseline, immediately after the intervention, immediately after the waiting period and 3 months after the intervention follow up.
Measured: at baseline, immediately after the intervention, immediately after the waiting period and 3 months after the intervention follow up
Secondary outcomes (1)
Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions (BRIEF) Adult Self -Report
Self-report questionnaire for adults evaluates Executive Functions (EF) in everyday contexts. Comprising 75 items rated on a three-point scale (1 = never, 2 = occasionally, 3 = often), the questionnaire categorizes items into nine scales representing distinct EF domains, along with two primary indices. The first, the Behavioral Regulation Index (BRI), encompasses inhibition, shifting, emotional regulation, and behavioral monitoring. The second, the Metacognitive Index (MI), includes working memory, initiation, planning/organization, task monitoring, and organization of materials. These indices contribute to a composite summary score known as the Global Executive Composite (GEC). raw scores are transposed to T-scores based on norms. The assessment will be conducted pre-post the intervention. Higher scores indicating greater difficulty with EF; a score of 65 or above signifies clinical impairment.
Measured: at baseline, immediately after the intervention, immediately after the waiting period.
