Cultural–historical (CH) neuropsychology proposes the qualitative analysis of neurodevelopmental disorders and learning difficulties through the identification of the neuropsychological factor (NF) that underlies the symptoms and difficulties that arise in cognition and academic performance. The objective of this study is to present clinical experiences of the neuropsychological intervention of unique cases of varying degrees of initial education. Qualitative assessment is a process that reveals the strengths and weaknesses in child development, as well as the possibilities of what children will be able to do for themselves. It assesses their zone of proximal development, not just the zone of current development. Neurodevelopmental and learning disorders present particular manifestations during life, so a qualitative analysis can account for their subtle changes during the course of life and schooling. The use of the principles of intervention constitutes the methodological axis for the elaboration of the programs; these programs will be shaped according to the needs of the children. The case study strengthens the expertise of clinical knowledge by contributing to the empirical field on the possibilities and proposals of neuropsychological intervention.
