We aimed at correlatingthe neuropsychological performance to the tasks of academic reading and writing across the variables corresponding to the academic skills of reading and writing against the care process, the process of memory and performance on executive functions. We confirmed the predictive value of children performance in the assessment of neuropsychological variables, their chances of functioning in school and in their level of appropriation and academic performance.
