 1. INTRODUCTION
This transversal activity will be carried out with the aim of making known Attention
Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, how it can affect those who suffer it and how the
people around them can help facilitate the learning and development process of the
person who suffers it.
Within ADHD there are different types of behaviors that can affect those who suffer
from it if they are not properly diagnosed. There are three types and they are attention
deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity and a combination of the two previous ones.

2. DEVELOPMENT
It is a behavioral disorder that occurs frequently, depending on studies, affects between
8 and 10% of children in the school stage. It must be diagnosed between 6 and 8 years
old in order to be able to carry out a treatment until before 15 years old because it is
easier to re-educate the brain, therefore, it can persist in adults because it was not
diagnosed in time.
This disorder occurs more in boys than in girls because in a mixed group they may go
unnoticed and not receive help
2.1 TYPES OF TDAH
- Attention Deficit: Shows attention deficit above what corresponds to their age,
developmental level and education.
- Hyperactivity/ Impulsivity: Shows motor hyperactivity and impulsivity above what
corresponds to their age, developmental level and education.
- Combined: Shows both symptoms (inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity) over
age, developmental level and education.
2.2. HOW TO DIAGNOSE ADWD?
It is a neurodevelopmental disorder. In which the brain does not produce enough
chemicals in key areas of the brain responsible for organizing thought.
It is important to know that ADHD is a biological condition so it is not due to poor
parenting or to children behaving badly on purpose.
Common symptoms
- Lack of attention
- Problems concentrating
- Not paying attention to details
- Making careless mistakes
- Difficulty in following directions
- Organizational problems
- Hyperactivity
- Apparent hearing problems
- Not finishing what you start
- Being forgetful and losing things
- Daydreaming
- Get distracted or bored easily
2.3. HOW SHOULD YOUR ENVIRONMENT ACT IN THE CLASSROOM?
- Teachers' specialization
- Reviewing the class
- Identify who is in charge
- Giving measured work
- Seat location in front of the teacher
- Group work that allows you to reinforce your knowledge
- Freedom of movement
- Organization (subjects, daily activities)
- Participatory teaching
- Student teacher closeness (trust)
- Incentive through prizes
2.4. HOW SHOULD ONE ACT IN THE SOCIAL AFFECTIVE-EMOTIONAL
ENVIRONMENT?
- Take the mentoring plan seriously.
- Program group activities.
- Design recreational activities.
- Help students who have difficulties.
- Be aware of negative attitudes from other students (Bullying).
- Program activities of coexistence.
2.5. TREATMENT
- Psychopedagogical: Having
- Direct effect: Improves attention, increases self-control, reduces impulsivity and
decreases motor hyperactivity
- Indirect effect: Increases the perception of control over their behavior and conduct,
recovers the desire to fight and encourages the child to apply psychoeducational
strategies
- Pharmacological: with medication as therapy.
- Psychological: Aimed at families, teachers and children
2.6. COMORBIDITIES OF THE TDAH
HAED can occur with 2 or more disorders that occur at the same time since it is present
between 60% and 80%.
Some of these morbid disorders that commonly occur along with ADHD are

- Oppositional Defiant Disorder (21%-60%)

- Depression
- Anxiety (25%)
- Bipolar Disorder
- Behavior Disorder (25%-40%)
- Sensory Integration Disorder
- Learning disorder (more than 50%)

3. CONCLUSION.
This disorder complicates the learning process for children, young people and adults
who suffer from it, therefore, it is important to know how to help these people, since for
them it represents twice the effort than for a person who does not suffer from it.
