Abstract
This paper presents the base, development and testing in a real context of AdaptADHD, an application to support adaptive training and evaluation of children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD) during their therapies. On one hand, this application aims to help patients to improve their abilities regarding concentration and impulse control by guiding them through the realization of different activities according to their needs. On the other hand, it facilitates the therapists´ labour by leading the therapy and supporting monitoring. Preliminary results suggest its potential high impact on ADHD treatment.
