Abstract: The present study is designed to assess how acquired brain damage (ACD) with non-congenital, hereditary or degenerative origin in childhood neurodevelopment effects.ADACAI is a study that aims to investigate the neurodevelopment of paediatric patients with DCA after a traumatic brain injury in children <6 years in a moderate phase, the physiopathology of the lesion and its impact on the developing brain and evaluate the synergistic effects of direct current transcranial stimulation (tDCS) in an environment enriched in recovery, both physically and cognitively. Childhood DCA (DCAI) is a sudden brain injury involving a change in neuronal activity by disrupting the development of structural and functional connectivity networks, leading to a subsequent deterioration of neurodevelopment in affected children. Etiologies can be multiple including cranioencephalic trauma (TCE), infections, brain tumours, cerebrovascular accidents (LCA) or hypoxia-ischaemia (HI). The sequelae associated with DCAI can occur with different severity, be temporary/permanent, and cause partial or generalized deficits in the vital dimensions affecting the child's and his family's psychosocial adjustment. It describes the role of childhood neuropsychology in the rehabilitation process after a DCAI and the different intervention approaches to alleviate the impact of the described deficits. Finally, the concept of neuroplasticity and the distinctive characteristics and impact that DCAI has on neurodevelopment are addressed. In developing the set of neurofunctional systems, early intervention and long-term monitoring are two essential factors to be considered in the child population.
