title: [Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) should be addressed in early childhood public policy-making in Colombia].
abstract: The following document was aimed at offering reflection about the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a true public health problem in Colombian children, involving very large challenges for childhood policy regarding this problem. This (in addition to all treatment protocols advanced to date) should include approaches implicitly involving motricity since one of this pathology's comorbid disorders becomes manifest in motor difficulties in the first instance, integrally involving family and school for success in managing the event.
