\naimed at professionals in the sector and parents of children with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, or high abilities. A virtual meeting also designed for professionals to learn about the latest trends in diagnosis and intervention in children with special needs. <\/span><\/p>\n
El Dr. Manuel Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>,<\/a> known as \u201cThe Child Neurologist<\/strong>\u201d on the internet, and convinced that coordination between teachers, family, and health professionals is<\/strong> vital to detect and treat these disorders<\/strong>, organizes this pioneering event, focused on providing a practical vision for parents of children with special needs who want to know and put into practice effective strategies that allow them to better understand the child’s problems and challenges and how to care for them to help normalize their situation. <\/span><\/p>\n The event will feature the participation of 30 expert professionals<\/strong> from the health, education, and neuroscience sectors, as well as representatives from technology companies and associations that serve this group.<\/span><\/p>\n This meeting will be held from October 21 to 23, 2019<\/strong> and can be followed from anywhere in the world via the Internet at no cost, although registration is required<\/strong><\/a> to receive free access to the talks for 24 hours<\/strong>. This event responds to the demand for training and resources for the growing number of parents, educators, and healthcare professionals who are aware of the need for a comprehensive approach from the classroom, the office, and the family to promote better normalization of the situation for these children. <\/span><\/p>\n In this sense, knowing the trends in diagnosis and intervention that help the functional and cognitive development of children with special needs is key to empowering both their close environment and the child themselves. Between 5 and <\/span> As a general rule, the first warning signs begin to be detected in primary school, but are teachers the first to give the warning? That is, are they sufficiently prepared? Manuel Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez states that \u201cthe reality I encounter every day in the office is highly variable. There are cases where the first warning of alarm signs of autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or high abilities comes from the school, but in most cases, the suspicion arises at home directly from the parents.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aware of the need to disseminate diagnostic and intervention tools for children with special needs, Manuel Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez has organized an event that aims to reach the largest possible number of families and education and neuroscience professionals. Therefore, the participants will provide attendees with various ideas and strategies related to how to carry out an approach that promotes the child’s cognitive and emotional development and allows resolving and normalizing conflict situations within the family. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This online congress has a double objective:<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, those responsible for associations and organizations such as Fundaci\u00f3n CADAH, Dislexia Sevilla, El Mundo del Superdotado, or Confederaci\u00f3n Autismo Espa\u00f1a<\/strong>, together with directors of leading ICT tools<\/strong>, such as Dide<\/strong><\/a>, will present the keys to carrying out a comprehensive intervention in children with special needs. The neuroscience experts will detail the keys to these disorders from a medical perspective. And, finally, the educators specialized in this group will provide their vision of what education in the 21st century should be like. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the third and last day of the congress, Manuel Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez will give a practical workshop<\/strong>, also online and free, to put into practice everything that attendees have learned during the event. The online congress will also have a private Facebook group, from which a Facebook Live will be broadcast every day to comment on what has been discussed that day. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is a unique opportunity to learn the keys to diagnosis and intervention for the correct cognitive and emotional development of these children<\/strong>. Keys that more and more educators and families demand but that many are unaware of. This congress serves to understand where to start. It is an opportunity to listen to the leaders in the sector in Spain and take good note of the resources and strategies that can be applied at home and in the classroom to enhance emotional and cognitive aspects that will help them to be more independent in the future,\u201d explains Manuel Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez. <\/span><\/p>\n The online congress \u2018Learning and Development<\/strong>\u2019 is free, but to get a ticket and have access to the talks it is necessary to register in advance.

\n10% of the child population suffers from ADHD<\/strong> (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and it is estimated that approximately 6% of children in primary school have dyslexia<\/strong>. Both disorders can end in school failure if they do not receive adequate professional help.<\/strong> 60% of children with high intellectual abilities<\/strong> are also exposed to study and behavior problems, whose apparent lack of interest in school often leads them to be misdiagnosed with ADHD. Another group that requires specialized professional help for their development and care is Autism <\/strong>Spectrum Disorder<\/strong>, a term that includes not only children with autism but also children with Asperger’s<\/strong> or specific language disorders<\/strong>, among others, and whose prevalence is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people, according to the study carried out by Autism-Europe in 2015. <\/span><\/p>\n\n
Most cases begin to show suspicious behaviors around 18 months, and the vast majority show significant symptoms before age 6. It is important to adequately train primary school teachers so that they can help families detect these types of cases when it has not yet been done <\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
