Screening and rehabilitation of attention disorders is a really encouraging field for clinical practice and research because of their effect on cognitive functions. Therefore, they can affect the language productions and cause significant educational, professional, social or familial difficulties. In this context, this study aims at screening for disorders of attention and unilateral spatial neglect in a sample of Moroccan junior high school students at El Moukaouama junior high school, M'rirt (Middle Atlas , Morocco). On a sample of 136 students aged between 11 and 19 years, a measure of attention was performed using the bells test. Scores obtained in the test in this study show that 21.32 % of students have attention problems and 5.88% have a profile of right or left unilateral spatial neglect. This study also shows a strong correlation between the students' school performance and their scores on the bells test. This study invites all interveners in the field of education, health and others to intervene to address the problems of attention in order to increase school achievement.
