The text was developed, mainly, from the results of research-intervention, that has had as its goal to identify relations between the development of the will in children and the characteristic difficulties related to Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity (TDAH), and to contribute with the develop of alternative interventions to the use of medication. Facing the polarization in discussions, sometimes in individual aspects, becoming natural the social, sometimes in social aspects, without taking in to account the individual dimension, it was aimed to overcome the dichotomy between individual and society in the comprehension of the supposed TDAH. It is possible to modify the psychological functioning - the direct relations between perception-motricity and thought-speaking -, and to overcome the difficulties of attention through the development of reflexive thought and planning, control and evaluation capacities. It is understood that the interventions must have as focus, not only the individual, but also the inter-psychological relations of the child, the activities, the historical-social environment where the child is inserted.
