Abstract
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an Android application for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in reducing ADHD symptoms and improving children’s academic and social performance through the application of the Pomodoro technique. The study adopted a quantitative approach using a questionnaire. The research process included evaluation tests conducted by lecturers using a questionnaire that evaluates the content, design, multimedia used, and performance, in addition to parents’ evaluation of the improvement in their children’s performance after using the application due to the difficulty of direct measurement by children. The waterfall approach was used to implement the application’s design during the Software Development Life Cycle. The study’s findings demonstrate that the program is appropriate for children with ADHD and can help them minimize ADHD symptoms, improve academic and social performance, learn more efficiently, and increase interactive visualization. However, learning methods in mobile applications can be integrated with artificial intelligence to become more effective. Thus, the research opportunity in integrating it with the education sector increases.

Keywords
ADHD, Behavioral skills, Mobile Application, SVM, The Pomodoro Technique.
