For this, Silva (2014) is taken as the main theoretical reference and uses a methodology based on descriptive bibliographical research of a qualitative nature. As a result of the study, the importance of accurate diagnosis and proper conduct of therapeutic treatment stands out, as well as the adoption of pedagogical practices that are in accordance with the needs of students with ADHD.
