Methods of cognitive-motor correction of ADHD and memory deficits in children

are based on the use of a combination of mental activity and motor skills, as well as exercises that help children with attention and memory disorders to activate these functions and improve their effectiveness through a combination of movements and thinking. Methods of cognitive-motor correction are a set of therapeutic and educational techniques developed by Akhutina to restore higher psychocognitive functions in children with neuropsychiatric disorders. These methods are based on a combination of motor activity (e.g., hand-eye tracking, writing, drawing, fine motor games) with cognitive tasks (e.g., concentration, memorization, problem solving). The basic idea is that the brain does not function in isolation between perception and movement; Motor activity is the basis for the development of attention and working memory. This model helps to activate neural connections, increase functional compensation, and prepare the child to use more effective strategies in educational situations. Studies show that this type of correction significantly contributes to improving academic performance and psychological and social adaptation of children.
