CORSO, Helena Vellinho. Learning difficulties and maturative delay: attention to the neuropsychomotor aspects in psychopedagogical evalution and treatment. Rev. psicopedag. [online]. 2007, vol.24, n.73, pp.76-89. ISSN 0103-8486.

This article presents the relationship between learning difficulties and maturative delays. The literature review explores the nature of this relationship and also tries to establish a current view of the concept of maturation that includes the ambiental factor notion. Considering clinical evidences, the work shows the evolution of three patients, undergoing psychopedagogical treatment, with immature profile. From one side, the presence of an initial immaturity pattern, in these cases, illustrates and seems to confirm the relationship between learning difficulty and maturative delays. From the other side, it is possible to verify, through the comparison of graphics that draw the neurological profile of patients before and after psychopedagogical intervention, how an integrating learning therapy allows not only learning progress, but also the overcoming of these maturative delays. The study searches for the complementation of the present approach - considering the neuropsychomotor aspects of learning - with other approaches that emphasize emotional and relational aspects that are present in the learning process.
