Abstract

This article titled “Children with deficit of attention and hyperactivity in school context”, aims to inform and describe this behavioral disorder that affects children worldwide about 5.3%. Furthermore, approximately 40 to 50% of these children have poor school performance, difficulties in family and peer relationships (Rodrigues, 2007). The difficulties are primarily related to inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Also they disturb the working classroom group, have lot of difficulties in persisting the task and to understand the teacher’s instructions (Ribeiro, 2008). According to the same author, they show poor study skills, particularly in relation to the organization of books and school supplies. In the opinion of Poiares (2003) this disorder is complex and consists of several factors, such as social, psychological, cultural, economic, political and emotional. According to Barkeley (2006), the intervention forms with these children are: parental and teachers education regarding this disorder, pharmacology, family therapy, behavior modification in the classroom, special education, regular exercise, and parents support groups.
