Abstract: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, often leading to academic, social, and behavioral challenges in children. Despite the availability of pharmacological and behavioral treatments, many children with ADHD continue to struggle with symptom management. In this study, a student with hyperactivity-impulsivity behavior is examined to determine whether a one-minute mindfulness-based calming music meditation (OMCMM) intervention can reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research employed direct observation by educators and parents utilizing interval recording forms, prior to and following a three-week OMCMM intervention. In order to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention, one-on-one interviews with the parent and teachers were also carried out.The results revealed a reduction in the frequency of hyperactive and impulsive behaviors in both classroom and home settings. Teachers and the parent reported that the brief, one-minute mindfulness-based music sessions were easy to implement and well-received by the child, contributing to calmer behavior and improved focus. These results imply that short mindfulness-based music therapies could be a useful and practical adjunctive strategy for managing ADHD symptoms in children. The study’s implications highlight the potential for OMCMM to be adapted for broader use in addressing various behavioral challenges in children.
