Descripción:This study was performed to to evaluate and recognize the teachers’ knowledge about the ADHD/ADD in their students. In the investigation, we identified the teachers’ learning methods applied when they recognize the deficit on the students. The Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity (known as ADD and ADHD) is a neurological condition that might affect the physical, social, and emotional condition of an individual. The common symptoms that might be presents are: distraction, impulsivity and hyperactive. These symptoms have been related with academic failure. Due to the impact that this deficit has on the education, it is important to recognize the condition in college students and give them the necessary help. We interviewed a group of teachers from different universities and colleges in Puerto Rico. It was observed that a substantial part of the teacher (more than 60%) interviewed had knowledge about the prevalence of the ADHD/ADD in the society (in children). It was established that most of the teachers don’t know that the conditions persist during adulthood and adults can show symptoms of ADD/ADHD during adult hood.
