The main objective of this update article is to review the main concepts related to Attention and Learning Disorders, showing the links between the two and their main differences. The two disorders were quite exemplified and over time their concepts were confused to the point of harming the child, the family and the school. The main intention is to make a small update of the chapter written by the same authors in the book, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder1, published in 2010.
