RESUMO

The objective of this study was to survey and analyze data related to the neuropsychological evaluation of children from seven to twelve years of age, male and female coming from lower-middle and middle class, attending regular and specialized public schools in the cities of Bauru and Campinas. The study analyzed the relationship of the learning process of children with neurological damages such as cerebral palsy in the hemiparethic convulsive way, with and without mental deficiency, and of children without neurological deficiency but with learning problems reporto The control-group, which was formed by children without learning and development report, aimed to refer to the non-standardized tool ENP - Neuropsychological Test. Eighty-five children formed four distinct categories: Group I (PC/SDM), Group II (PC/CDM), Group III (N/CDA) and Group IV (N/SDM). The evaluation procedures consisted of standardized tests of mental, pedagogical, and visuomotor level, neuropsychological test, questionnaires to the child and to the teacher, anamnesis, and a complimentary neuroimage test. The data were statistically analyzed and compared in the light of literature, by considering their implications in the concept, classification and reference to the learning disorders. The results have allowed to highlight that the damaging condition of the hemiparethic child does not constitute impairment in the development and acquisition of cortical functions related to the learning processo Correlate standards of answers among the groups suggest the occurrence of neurological connections coming from the neuronal plasticity as far as the damaged groups are concerned. The content of this research has attested a meaningful degree of convergence among the areas of Psychology, Neurology, Pedagogy and Speech Therapy, highlighting the importance of an interdisciplinary relationship sharing the same interest in the Neuropsychological Evaluation
