Welcome!While I personally do not have experience with this test, the following article supports using it as a way to measure brain waves, which it states is a FDA approved way to diagnosis ADHD.
Where is an article explaining why they use the test:

Hope this helps!
As a neurology nurse, I would definitely have to ask why they feel this is necessary. There are several indications, such as epilepsy, which require an EEG, but usually not ADHD.
