Disorder Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a change in behavior that prevents an individual from standing still and perform certain daily activities, as well as difficulties in maintaining attention. Objective with this study to see how teachers deal with students who exhibit behaviors or symptoms related to ADHD, as well as the strategies used to minimize their impacts at the individual and collective. To this end, we carried out a literature review followed by the development of a questionnaire answered with representatives of the sample. It was felt that a reasonable number of participants has a significant knowledge about ADHD and a significant portion considers that most students have symptoms related to the disorder. However, the teachers ensure that work equivalent with students with possible symptoms and those with no symptoms.
