Abstract Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are the focus of this study whose objectives were to ascertain: (i) the extent to which Igbo indigenous art chores can curtailed, (ii) the most suitable Igbo indigenous art forms for elongating attention span, (iii) the cogent bases for prescribing indigenous art for basic schooling, and (iv) the art chore most likely to sustain the attention of ADHD kids. 100 kids were treated to: body drawing/painting; hairstyling; fabric weaving; basketry; bead/crochet making, and pottery. The study instruments were: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Specialist Intervention Curriculum (ADHD-SI-C); Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Specialist Intervention Methodology (ADHD-SI-M) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Specialist Intervention Span Rating Table (ADHD-SI-SRT). Attention rating calibrations were: 1-15 minutes (short span) and 16-30 minutes (long span). The results showed that of all the chores, basketry and ceramics elongate attention the most. Art is prescribed for its kinesthetic nature.
