Summary/Abstract: Movement, which is associated primarily with physical, mental, and social development, is an integral part of healthy development, maturation, and formation of children. Practice has shown that physical activities have positive impact on patients,especially those diagnosed with ADHD. Within the focus on engagement in physical activities of children with ADHD, we address a critical issue and contribute to the correction of behavioural disorders. Educational experiment was conducted in a fully organized elementary school during the school year of 2016-17. The sample included seven individually integrated pupils who attended fourth grade and were diagnosed withADHD. We focused on possible associations between the participation in the programme of movemental activities and the correction of behavioural disorders in prepubertal individually integrated children. We have found that the recommended physical activities included in the programme of movemental acitivities have positive impact on the correction of behavioural disorders in 9- to 10-years-old boys and girls.
