Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is a very common neurodevelopmental disorder that appears in childhood and often continues into adulthood. It is mainly characterized by three symptoms: attention deficit, impulsivity and hyperactivity. ADHD can appear with three different types of presentation, depending on the predominant symptomatology.
- Predominant presentation of attention deficit.
- Predominant presentation of impulsivity or hyperactivity.
- Combined presentation of both characteristics.
In any case, it is important to know that students with ADHD will encounter more obstacles to achieve good school results, so it is necessary that the educational intervention guarantees personalized learning that takes into account the characteristics of each person.
