EARLY INTERVENTION STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING AND CORRECTING BEHAVIOR DISORDERS IN PRESCHOOLERS

Summary/Abstract: From a theoretical perspective, this paper provides a summary of current theories and researches on behavioral disorders in children, particularly on ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity), its etiology and forms of manifestation. It highlights the importance of early intervention strategies, especially of games, both in the prevention and correction of behavioral disorders in children. Based on these theoretical premises, an applied research was undertaken with a general purpose to develop and implement certain educational and therapeutic programs to correct behavior disorders (ADHD) in preschoolers. Starting with basic elements of child/ student centred learning, adaptation and implementation of effective strategies in accordance with the child's psychological profile, the customized intervention plan has contributed to significant progress in all areas of psychological development (cognitive, socio-emotional, psychomotor, relational) and improving maladaptive/disruptive behavior. This confirms the general and specific hypotheses of the research and opens new fields of investigation and educational intervention.
