Event Abstract Back to Event Interaction between neuroscience and education at the school intervention of attention deficit disorder Domínguez L. Zendejas1* 1 National University of Mexico, ISB, Mexico The Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a disruption that is frequently observed in the childhood. The clinical manifestations of this disorder are associated with very significant alterations in the educational process of these children, reflected in a lower school performance, conflicts with authorities and peers, among others. Is evident within the treatment to this child the need to influence in the educational factor, however still much to do. One factor which has hampered the educational intervention is the lack of interaction between the etiology knowledge as the neurological, neuropsychological and the education system. In this sense actually the contribution of the neuroscience to the understanding the ADD has grown, and this has enabled have a better knowledge about the cognitive function in this children. Although there is a clear need for integration of the neuroscience and the education to obtain intervention programs more efficient to achieve the best cognitive performance and school integration of children with ADD, even still much to obtain the integration of these two areas in the school intervention. The aim of this work is to show the effectiveness by the integration at the neuroscience and education in the development of a school intervention program for the ADD children. The work takes place at a primary school in Mexico City, with children with ADD diagnosis, between ages 6 to 8 years. We begun with a neuropsychological assessment which shows undertaking of frontal lobe system, dorsolateral prefrontal circuit and anterior cingulate circuit principally. Neurocognitive deficits as executive function, working memory, specific types of attention, some learning disability as and social skills. Based of the findings we designed the intervention program at school, which has shown positive results on academic performance as well as social skills.
