An educational intervention was carried out in 40 schoolchildren with disorders due to care deficit with hyperactivity assisted at the Psychopedagogy Outpatient Department of the Specialties Polyclinic belonging to "Dr. Juan of the Cruz Martínez Maceira" Northern Hospital in Santiago de Cuba during the first semester of 2005, with the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the flower therapy in the treatment of these children. Two treatment groups were formed: the study and the control group, with 20 patients each. In those forming the first one, treated with flower therapy, a higher decrease of the behavioral and emotional changes was achieved.
