  7. Abstract:
  8. Nowadays, as technology grows, human life formation changes every single second. These changes sometimes create harmful habits and effects on our lifestyle, which unfortunately brings various types of disabilities and disorders. SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) are common disorders in children and usually show themselves in younger ages. The cause of these disorders is not unique and multiple factors can lead it. Fortunately, they can be easily treated by considering the appropriate treatments. Research that has been performed on any treatment device available for children with SPD and ADHD disorder shows that the sense of balance has not been combined with other senses in the body at the same time. The Multi-Sensory Balance Board is a high-tech device designed and manufactured by the order of medical community, with the aim of better treating for various disabilities and disorders. It allows the user to collaborate with different senses of the body at the same time. These senses are Visual, Auditory, Balance, and Tactile sensing. This device has been using in Pars Hospital Rehabilitation Center in various cases such as SPD (sensory processing disorder), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), stroke, Parkinson's, MS (Multiple Sclerosis) or even people suffering from Coronavirus. Unfortunately, the implementation phase of the project coincided with the outbreak of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the world, so in order to maintain the health of children, it has not been used for accessing the result in this project. The designers collaborating with the medical staff decided to use this device for adults with various types of diseases. The results of the first stroke group are now available and based on the approval of doctors and occupational therapists. The use of this device has helped patients and has significantly improved their disabilities
