As dificuldades de aprendizagem e o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade- TDAH: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder with a genetic cause that appears in childhood and in most cases accompanies the individual throughout their life. This disorder is defined by symptoms of inattention, restlessness and impulsivity. People with this disorder have difficulty controlling their emotions and behavior. Learning difficulties are neurobiological problems that affect the brain's ability to understand, remember or communicate information. Consequently, this term does not refer to a single disorder, but to a wide range of problems that are capable of affecting any area of academic performance. This is a qualitative research, using the case study method carried out in the first semester of 2024. In this study, an interview was carried out with a teacher diagnosed with ADHD, who has already completed her degree in Pedagogy and is currently working as a teacher.
