Objectives: Measure the task load using the user interface on didactic mobile applications by children with ADHD using the NASA-TLX instrument. Explore the feasibility of using the NASA-TLX instrument to measure task load in users with different abilities. Methodology: Qualitative sample exploratory study with direct application of a NASA-TLX instrument adapted to users with ADHD who use a didactic mobile app who belong to an age group from 5 to 15 years old population in the CAM # 8 in Moctezuma, Sonora. The instrument is applied indirectly, assisted by the educator in order to interpret the subjects' responses. Contribution: It describes the adaptation requirements of the instrument to the study subjects, explores task load indices during the use of user interfaces in subjects with different abilities, indicates the heterogeneity of the population and presents usability requirements and interaction characteristics for users with ADHD that allows to realize a design centered in the user.
