Challenges in teaching students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Abstract

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by the presence of difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. This disorder has gained prominence in scientific studies over the last few decades due to the increase in increasingly early diagnoses carried out in children, thus favoring their adequate inclusion in the school environment, since, in possession of the diagnosis, the school is able to conduct a process of teaching and learning that seeks to fill the gaps in these students' difficulties, enabling, through methodologies and pedagogical instruments, that students with ADHD can develop significantly in the school environment. Therefore, this research has as its general objective the search to understand the challenges faced by educators in inserting students with ADHD in the context of meaningful learning based on the search for new pedagogical proposals that assist in the learning of these students. The research carried out was based on scientific books and articles, as well as current normative documents located in scientific databases such as SciELO, PubMed, LILACS and CAPES.
