The paper presents a study with a case study with a nine-year-old German boy with ADHD. The child was tested with the "Test of Everyday attention for Children. Deutsche Adaptation. 3" (2006). The test measures the time of the performing of the test in seconds and the number of the errors the child does. Our general observation on the child by the performance of the test is that the child gets easily tired and after working on 5-6 pages of the Test he loses concentration. Based on the research the systemic therapy with the child is presented and the Reframing as a method was used.

Keywords: ADHD, systemic therapy, diagnoses, reframing
