Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a persistent pattern of neglect and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with non-functioning or non-development of a person. The following article focuses on identifying the criteria for a child psychodiagnostic assessment that presents traces of TDHA and the effectiveness of diagnostic tests undertaken during this assessment process. For this purpose, an experience report of a clinical case was made and held in a Psychology Clinic of a Faculty of the Interior of Minas Gerais. The child was directed to psychological care, for presenting behaviors such as low school performance, wandering during the performance of tasks, lack of persistence, difficulty in keeping focused, disorganization and excessive motor activities and then another psychodiagnostic assessment was done. This case study makes possible to confirm and accompany the psychodiagnostic process of the country presenting a characteristic of ADHD found in bibliographic research and confirmed non-clinical psychodiagnostics.
