Neurodevelopmental Disorders define a series of disorders and learning difficulties related to the maturation of the nervous system and, consequently, share similar symptoms in the early years of life. This explains the high complexity of differential diagnosis, as well as the importance of carrying out an exhaustive evaluation that allows a flexible diagnosis, pending to evaluate the effects of a psychoeducational intervention focused on the child's symptoms and difficulties. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD, hereinafter) is characterized by the alteration of the psychological processes and functions of Executive System that may result in the emergence of emotional, social and school problems, which could be developed with a high prevalence in childhood and adolescence, manifesting itself as comorbid disorders with two or more Neurodevelopmental Disorders in 50% of the cases of children diagnosed with ADHD. Among these, the Oppositional Defiant Disorder and the Difficulties in Reading Learning stand out.

In this symposium, two unique cases of comorbid ADHD are analysed, the first with an Oppositional Defiant Disorder and the second with Specific Difficulties in Reading Learning. Evaluation and intervention protocols developed in each case, their evolution and their results after two years of psychoeducational therapy will be presented. In both cases, we consider especially important to have multidisciplinary and multidimensional intervention protocols that integrate evaluation and treatment instruments - quantitative and qualitative - cognitive, behavioural, learning, socio-emotional and contextual.
