ABSTRACT Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder and represents an important concern, especially, in school-age-children. This research aims to provide updated notions about medicalization and ADHD present in the reality of elementary school in the city of Maringá-PR. For that, a semi - structured questionnaire was used in 8 Basic Education Institutions, distributed to 4 city's regions, in the period from 2015 to 2016. The sample counted on 2,367 students from 6 to 10 years old. The data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively, and, from these, the percentage of children with ADHD was expected, not exceeding the constant average in the literature, and the prevalent medicine was methylphenidate. However, we realized that without the pedagogical projects and the lack of synergy between the use of the medication and the psychological accompaniment, the disorder may not be solved, but only masked.
