Development of assessment tools for neurodevelopmental disorders, such as learning disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We have also been developing tools for the assessment of the construct of “social cognition” in children and adults. As products, we have published a battery for the assessment of learning disorders (BANETA) and are currently developing another one for the assessment of ADHD. Our work has also focused on the neuropsychological characterization of neurological and genetic diseases in children, such as craniosynostosis, tumors, vascular conditions, arachnoid cysts, Williams syndrome, among others. We have also begun developing protocols for neuropsychological intervention in clinical populations and neurodevelopmental disorders. In the future, we are interested in developing tools and protocols for “tele-rehabilitation,” which means being able to carry out strategies to improve the cognitive condition of patients with neurological or neurodevelopmental disorders remotely. We have also worked on studying the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional aspects related to Parkinson’s disease and degenerative diseases. The research conducted is generally with clinical populations from various hospitals and with school populations at different educational levels (preschool, primary school, university).
