NeuroEducation

• Neuroeducation is to understand what nervous , disturbances and diseases, in students can affect their learning.

• Teachers can collaborate with other professionals to address it in terms of special education methods for social inclusion of his/her affected students.

Common ailments

• Neuroeducation encompasses the study of common ailments such as:– Dyslexia– Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)– Learning disability– Vision and hearing impairment– Mental diseases such as depression, anxiety, etc.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)

• Definition of ADHD– It describes children who display persistent age-

inappropriate symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that are sufficient to cause impairment in major life activities.

Conclusions: Despite similar speed of sequential finger tapping, children with ADHD showed decreased contralateral motor cortex and right parietal cortex activation during both right-handed finger sequencing (RHFS) and left-handed finger sequencing (LHFS).The fMRI findings suggest that children with ADHD have anomalous development of cortical systems necessary for execution of patterned movements.

What is Dyslexia?

• DYS = Trouble• LEXIA = Words
