The education and development of children diagnosed with ADHD is a process that takes place alongside the child, it is imperative that parents and teachers are involved in developing the individual intervention program, strengthening the strengths identified in each child. This paper describes a series of behavioural peculiarities of pre-schoolers and schoolchildren with attention deficit and proposes a series of sensory strategies in counselling parents in order to increase the attention of the child with ADHD and help him manage his undesirable behaviours. The research results may be useful in the process of informational counselling and support for parents of children with ADHD.
