This research focused on ADHD children with problems such as lack of attention, hyperactive, and impulsive that affect their school academic skills. Educational disturbances found in children with ADHD at Elementary School are low interest in learning, weak memorizing, unenthusiastic with large text and lack of concentration. They have less interest in Social Science Subjects. There are some learning applications developed to help children learn social science. However, there is none focused on ADHD children. Thus, a study was conducted to determine the user interface model of interactive learning application of social science subjects in accordance with user experience in ADHD children by implementing the Children-Centered Design method. Then we analyzed the application usability level measured using USE Questionnaire. The usability testing of the prototype has resulted in average usability of 90.05%, this shows the category of application is very good and can be used for children ADHD.
