Abstract

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has symptoms centered around inattentiveness, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Given the prevalence of ADHD in the school population and the dysfunctions that it generates in different contexts in which students develop, intervention from a combined perspective is necessary to respond to the needs of this group through the individualization of treatments. Music therapy includes all kinds of musical experiences aimed to improve the physical and mental health of people and in recent times its implementation has increased in a diversity of disorders and disabilities. We carried out a bibliographical research on the Google Academic, Dialnet, Redalyc, Roderic and Scopus databases, selecting 16 articles for analysis. The results show the benefits of music therapy in interventions on students with ADHD. It is concluded that there is a need to carry out an intervention program with music therapy from an early age to improve students’ quality of life.

Keywords: ADHD, music therapy, intervention, school, multimodal approach, education.
