Abstract

The main aim of the paper is to understand the importance of knowing ADHD and knowing how the teacher can act when realizing that the child has been diagnosed with ADHD. As specific objectives, describe the history of ADHD, conceptualize, diagnose, and address ADHD at school and describe physical education as an intervention for ADHD in children aged 9 to 11 years. It is a reflective study based on published studies and the opinion of each author regarding the topic. The general approach of the text concludes that more studies are needed on the attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder at school and, specifically, its relationship with the ways of learning and experiencing body practices in Physical Education classes, as it is a very reality present in schools. Only then will we have a better teaching quality for our ADHD students.
