ADHD and Learning DifficultiesAlthough an individual can have ADHD without experiencing learning difficulties and vice versa, about 80% of those with ADHD also have learning difficulties or a specific learning Disability, usually in the language area (LLD). As there tend to be characteristics in common with both of these conditions, it is recommended that all children with ADHD be tested for learning disabilities (LD) and children with LD be tested for ADHD. Many receive treatment for one condition and not the other. It is for these reasons that ADHD and learning disabilities are found represented in the same literature. |
