PROGRAMA DE APOYO PARA ESTUDIANTES CON TDAH EN UNA UNIVERSIDAD

Resumen

Undergraduate studies can be challenging for students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), impacting their academic performance and daily life. This study assessed the effectiveness of a psychological support program for these students at a higher education institution. Using questionnaires administered to 30 students and teachers, the study investigated satisfaction with the program, the effectiveness of pedagogical adaptations, and the frequency of service use. Results indicated that 50% of students were fully satisfied with the program, while 36.7% were partially satisfied. However, 43.3% of students did not seek help for academic problems, suggesting a lack of awareness about the importance of support. Academic anxiety was high, with 50% of students reporting elevated levels. Among teachers, 75% received information about the supported students, but there were inconsistencies in communication and the implementation of pedagogical adaptations. The study concludes that, despite the positive impact of the program, there is a need to improve communication between psychological support and the teaching staff, as well as to raise student awareness about the available services. Continuation and expansion of the program are recommended to enhance support for students with ADHD.
