AB Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is currently a frequently occurring neurodevelopmental disorder in children. Biofeedback trainings reduce stress, anxiety, induce relaxation and positive emotions, improve attention, learning and academic performance (McCraty, 2003). The paper follows basic psychophysiological modalities in children with ADHD and their changes in the process of biofeedback training. The study sample consists of 26 children diagnosed with ADHD without comorbid disorder, aged 7 to 10 years. Respondents attended biofeedback training every week for 45 minutes, for 15 weeks.
