Abstract

OBJECTIVE: to contribute to the training of teachers in the schools of the municipality of Agua Blanca, Jutiapa on attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHOD: a quantitative descriptive study was carried out with teachers from the municipality of Agua Blanca Jutiapa, with a sample of 132 teachers. RESULTS: the study indicates that teachers do not have training on the subject of neurodevelopment. Regarding attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, 34.8% of teachers have received annual training. This indicates that teachers do not have the specific knowledge to address this disorder in the classroom. CONCLUSION: teachers have a notion about ADHD, but further training is necessary, in order to discern this neurodevelopmental disorder and refer students with suspected ADHD to specialized professionals. They do not have a multidisciplinary team for adequate care and follow-up in cases of students with ADHD. However, having only general knowledge of ADHD it is difficult to determine if the basic approach strategies for its support are taken into account in said adjustments.
