Transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade no ambiente escolar: um estudo de caso

Abstract

This work aims to better understand the main aspects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. As well as, identify the learning difficulties of those affected and, finally, add factors and didactic methodologies that will help educators to assist these students in an inclusive way in the school environment. For this, we seek theoretical support from Pereira, Araújo & Mattos (2005), Confortin and Maia (2015), Capellini, Germano & Uvo (2017), Santos & Vasconcelos (2010) among other researchers who address and reflect on issues related to the theme. As a methodological procedure, we conducted a qualitative research, being developed through bibliographic and documentary reviews. As data collection, from the locus of the research that were an interview with the collaborating teacher (LB) and a case study with the analysis of photos of her class that welcomes students with ADHD, attended in a Specialized Educational Service (AEE) in the city of Princesa IsabelPB, which illustrated different learning difficulties, such as: reading, writing, arithmetic, motor coordination, concentration and group interaction. With this material, some didactic methods were also demonstrated that assist in the assistance of these difficulties. Thus, we conclude from the data obtained with bibliographic, documentary reviews and analyzes established during this research process, the following results: the lack of information on this topic is still gigantic in schools and teachers need continued training to supply this lack; more physically structured institutions with an AEE. A room with appropriate teaching materials. With regard to learning and interaction difficulties in the school phase, we realize that they exist, and this should not be a determining factor for their exclusion from school life, but it is important that there are adapted schools, qualified professionals, diversified procedures planning and methodologies and inclusive policies, aiming to include these students.
