본 연구에서는 학교생활에 적응하지 못하는 ADHD 아동에게 음악치료를 통해 문제행동을 개선시켜 사회기술향상 효과를 알아보았다. J시에 소재한 B초등학교에 재학 중인 1,2학년 중대상으로 K-CBCL로 부모의 동의를 얻은 아동 총 15명을 실험집단 7명과 통제집단 8명으로 임으로 무선배정 하였다. 음악치료 실시 전과 후에 ADHD 아동의 문제행동과 사회기술향상을 알아보기 위해 부모용 한국판 아동ㆍ청소년 행동평가 척도(K-CBCL; Child Behavior Checklist-Korean)와 사회기술평가 척도(Social Skills Rating System; SSRS), 교사용 또래의 사회적 수용도를 실시하였다. 음악치료에 참가한 실험집단의 ADHD 아동은 문제행동의 공격성, 주의집중력과 사회적 기술의 협동성, 자기주장, 자기통제에서 유의한 효과를 보였고 사회적 기술의 책임감과 자기 수용도는 유의한차이가 없었다. 그러나 사회적 기술의 책임감과 자기 수용도는 효과가 나타나지 않았으나 통제집단보다 실험집단에서 점수가 높게 나타났음을 확인할 수 있었는데 이는 장기간의 실험을 실시하면 긍정적인 효과를 얻을 것이라 본다.
