The solution to the low academic performance of students with ADHD or ADD involves, whenever possible, initial detection in the family and in nursery schools , a correct diagnosis when the student begins primary education and the establishment of cognitive-behavioral treatment or, if necessary, medication, which follows the guidelines and indications set out in the scientific, national and international guides that deal with this problem. The final objective is to allow the student to have adequate attention, concentration and abstraction skills, necessary for correct school performance and, in the case of ADHD, to simultaneously achieve the containment of non-finalistic motor activity and the control of pathological impulsivity.

It is considered that it will not be possible to improve school performance and, therefore, avoid academic failure and dropout in our country, if a mandatory and routine approach to ADHD and ADD is not carried out in schools during the primary education period, carried out in the context of a comprehensive and holistic diagnosis and treatment program for neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents.
