title: [Psycho-educational approach for hyperactive children].
abstract: There are two significant psychoeducational methods as therapeutic approach for hyperactive children. The one, a method of assessing hyperactivity, is the behavioral modification technique. The other, which is further contrary to the first, is a neuropsychological procedure. We investigated the following behavioral features in terms of the second method, such as equilibrium abilities, tactile defensiveness and vestibular-proprioceptive processing. Concerning the psycho-educational therapy for hyperactive children with developmental disabilities, it is very important to promote the improvement of such potentialities as integrative abilities by means of multisensory stimulation. Then, it will needed further to plan the treatments that modulate the functional relationship between sensory input and behavioral output. The focus of these treatments is put on improving the neural organization and promoting the adaptive behavior of hyperactive children.
