| Abstract | |
The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common neuropsychiatric disorder of childhood and among the most prevalent among students. The ADHD is a genetic neurological condition often manifested early in life of patients, but only in early schooling symptoms become noticeable, and may present in their academic record, school failure, determined by changes in input information. Both the process diagnosis and treatment of ADHD are complex, not only by the dimensional chacacter of the symptoms of inattention and/ or hyperactivity, but also by the high frequency of comorbidities presented by patients. The treatment of ADHD symptoms may improve the ability to prioritize relevant stimuli, working memory, the storage and retrieval of learned material. Currently, it is possible to apply assessment procedures that enable researchers to check the use of phonological processing skills such as phonological awareness, the working memory and rapid naming of proficient readers in populations or changes in the learning process in reading. The phonological processing refers to phonological auditory information received which is directly related to the development of oral and written language in an alphabetic writing system. Given the complexity of learning and growing Brazilian education problems, realizes the importance of this study. Throught the application of effective tools, able to cover the various skills involved in the acquisition and development of reading and writing, this study seeks to help assess and guide interventions for this population. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of reading and writing, as well as aspects underlying the development of reading and writing in children with ADHD and children with typical development. The study included 30 student of both sexes, 15 with ADHD (experimental group) and 15 students with typical development (control group), matched for gender, chronological age, education, type of scholl (public or private). The students of both groups were assessed for reading, writing and phonological processing, specifically phonological awareness, rapid naming and working memory. For statistical tests were used t Student test and nonparametric Mann- Whitney test, adopting a significance level of 5% (0,05). The results showed significance in the assessment of reading, writing and phonological processing. Is was observed that students with ADHD underperformed in the skills of reading and writing aspects underlying these skills when compared to students with typical development. (AU) | |
