Abstract

GUIMARAES, Mônica Narciso  and  MONTEIRO, Roberta Angelo. Neuropsychological intervention with children and adolescents - a review of the literature. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp. 131-144. ISSN 2177-093X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20435/pssa.v11i2.811.

This article aimed to carry out a literary review of the scientific studies published in the last ten years in neuropsychological rehabilitation/ intervention with children and adolescents, seeking to identify how programs with approaches focused on academic and executive difficulties are articulated with family and school demands . The main databases used were PubMed, SciELO and Redalyc. Among the 89 articles found, ten were selected because they included methods for teaching strategies that facilitated school learning and adaptive behaviors. The results of the studies suggest that neuropsychological intervention in children and adolescents promotes the development of cognitive abilities and the processes of language acquisition. However, in view of the distance between the clinical context of intervention and the educational context, more studies need to be promoted in search of a more integrated view on these spaces for promoting development.

Keywords : neuropsychological intervention; cognitive rehabilitation; childhood; adolescence.
