Attention is an ability we acquire throughout our development. The attention deficit is a biological condition consisting on the lack of regulatory power on the attention levels.
There are two types:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, with low levels of sustained attention, making the children distracted by any stimulus, no matter how weak the stimulus is, so they cannot quietly do the task assigned.

- Indicators cannot be identified until age 3, and a reliable diagnosis cannot be pronounced until 5 years of age. Either case, there are activities that stimulate attention from the very moment of birth.
