ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that groups together subjects who have attention difficulties and/or hyperactivity. Children with ADHD have problems maintaining an attentive focus in traditional teaching and the situation may have become complicated with COVID-19 pandemic. Actually, there are conflicting results in literature. While, on the one hand, some reported the frustration experienced during online school activities, others described distance learning as a very positive experience, especially due to the decrease of anxiety related to the school climate. The purpose of this article is to further investigate the phenomenon, through a qualitative research that has confirmed what has emerged in literature, which underlines the importance of an in-depth study of the phenomenon.
