“…According to DSM-5, the diagnostic criteria include inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and symptom appearance not later than in the fifth year of life, while ICD-10 highlights inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD does not follow the same pattern in children; hence, different subtypes of ADHD are listed (e.g., you cannot ignore the age factor when diagnosing and helping children with ADHD because the course of the disorder changes as the child develops [10][11][12].…”

The paper aims to present a holistic view of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in pedagogical, psychological, legal, and social dimensions in Polish schools. The authors present the benefits of neurofeedback therapy for elementary school pupils. In order to verify the validity, the paper compares the concordance of a medical diagnosis confirming ADHD syndrome with the occurrence of abnormal electrical brain function recording and abnormalities therein as well as the effectiveness of the neurofeedback therapy. The study confirms that the reported problems faced by pupils and affecting their emotional functioning are reflected in their EEG records. Conclusions from the study lead to the proposal that the neurofeedback assessment should be performed at schools, which should result in the implementation of effective therapy. Moreover, the neurofeedback method should be promoted in Polish schools as an alternative to pharmacological therapy, which, as the research proves, is not always effective. Neurofeedback therapy, similarly to behavioral therapy, is very much needed and useful because it provides optimal conditions for the child’s development and shapes their relations with the environment effectively and harmlessly.
