Habilidades sociales y lectoescritura en un niño con TDAH

Abstract

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD face significant challenges in educational institutions. Their difficulties in social skills, which are marked by impulsivity and aggressive behaviors, affect the formation of friendships and generate adaptation problems. In addition, in the academic field, limitations in attention and written information processing impact on reading and writing, leading to decreased academic performance. These problems demand adapted pedagogical strategies and comprehensive support to address the specific needs of each child with ADHD, promoting their social and academic development within the educational environment. This research poses the following problem: What are the characteristics of social skills and literacy in a child with ADHD? The general objective of this research is to identify the characteristics of social skills and literacy in a child with ADHD.
